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.
