Woob

Woob is the stage name of the British soundtrack and ambient dub musician Paul Frankland. He first came to the attention of the musical community after releasing an album on T:me Recordings' new downtempo label em:t records with the catalogue number 1194, which many regard as a milestone ambient release. Following the success of his first album, which was re-released in the USA by Instinct Records, Woob contributed more tracks to em:t compilations and the trance label Flying Rhino Records. In late 1995, he released a second album on em:t, 4495, which garnered further praise.

In a recent revival of the em:t spirit, Woob has remastered 1194 as a digital download as well as releasing brand new material online - including a third full-length album, Repurpose. Up-to-date information is available on www.woob.info and http://season9.wordpress.com/.

His side projects include Journeyman (with Colin Waterton) on Ntone and more recently Max & Harvey (with Mark Butt) on Ninja Tune.
