Bill Laswell - Hashisheen: The End Of Law

Collaborative works of Yousef, Hasan-i Sabbah, Mohammed and many others... set to the tone of ambient and esoteric musical backgrounds.

It has stimulated me to study the Hashshashin, a sect of radical, free-thinking, exteremists. Believed to be the first Assassins documented by history, under Hasan-i Sabah they established a stronghold at Alamut that held until the Mongols destroyed it in 1256 (I believe). They are even known to have confronted Saladin and made attempts on his life.

An inspiring album. I recommend...
