ALBUM OF THE DAY: Woob - Woob 1194 (1994)


This is majestic, rainforest-ambient dub from UK producer Paul Frankland's Woob project, juxtaposed with downtempo beats and field recordings.  "Woob 1194" is a slow moving but ultimately rewarding album that establishes its atmosphere before moving on to the climaxes.  The first track is a 32-minute buildup of animal sounds and ambience that finally breaks into an intense world music beat, complete with some nice chanting vocal samples.  The entire album as a whole provides something like a narrative in its immersive progression.
