Assassin

The Orb

Fifteen-minute epics of propulsive dub-techno and desert-soaked psychedelia. A heavier, more rhythmic side of the ambient house pioneers.

It's a fifteen-minute psychedelic spy movie for your ears with the heaviest bass you've ever heard.

A propulsive, mysterious journey through digital deserts and deep-space dub chambers.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in the Oasis of Rhythms mix where the driving beat dissolves into a shimmering, beatless mirage of synth pads.
The aggressive, metallic percussion hits that punctuate the Bandulu mix, providing a harder techno edge than typical Orb tracks.
The way the 'Assassin' vocal sample echoes and decays into a cavernous dub space during the final minutes of the live version.
