Assassin CD #2 was indeed released a few months after the first cd. I haven't seen either of them in stores since '92 so finding one will definitely be a chore but it's definitely worth seeking out for the chocolate hills of bohol mix alone (what a great name for a mix). Orb's Assassin 2xcd set is still one of my favorite Orb releases. I wish the Orb would have continued developing the technoish sound he employed on these Assassin eps instead of going off in the Pomme Fritz direction... actually a few Orb remixes done after the Assassin eps were in the same style but, in general, the Orb never caught my ears the same after the Assassin eps. -->-Lance--- mclance@nacs.net lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
