From Wikipedia --- Finitribe Was A Dance Music Band From Edinburgh Scotland. The Group Is Sometimes Also Referred To As Fini Tribe. The Name Was Taken From Finny Tribe A Term Used By The Rosicrucians To Describe The Fishes. They Began In The Mid 1980s As Gallery Macabre An Experimental Guitar Band Before Moving Into A Sample Based Dance Style Setting Up Their Independent Finiflex Label Playing Live And Recording As Funds Allowed. Following A Period On Chicago's Wax Trax! And The Limited Release Of Two Twelve-Inch Singles The Band Restructured With The Departure Of Some Band Members And Migration Of Vocalist Chris Connelly To Join The Ministry / Revolting Cocks Crew. Based On The Dancefloor Success Of The Track "Detestimony" From The 1986 "Let The Tribe Grow" EP The Remaining Members Became A More Dance-Oriented Act Signing To One Little Indian. The Label Was Then Home Of The Shamen A Group Which Had Undergone A Similar Transition From Guitar Rock To Dance Music Although Finitribe Never Approached The Shamen's Considerable Commercial Impact. The Group Had Minor Mainstream Success With Dance Mixes Of The Tracks "101" And "Forevergreen" From Their 1992 Album An Unexpected Groovy Treat. The Follow Up LP Sheigra Failed To Meet With The Same Success Despite Critical Acclaim. In 1996 The Group Slimmed Down To Miller And Pinsky With A Collection Of Vocal Collaborators Released A Final Album Sleazy Listening In A Drum And Bass/trip-Hop Style In 1998.
