Woob is the stage name of British soundtrack & ambient-dub musician Paul Frankland.

Biography
He first came to the attention of the musical community after releasing the self titled Woob album on Time Recording's new downtempo label Em:t, 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 tracks to more Em:t compilations and to trance label Flying Rhino Records. In late 1995, he released a second artist album on Em:t which garnered further praise.

He has also made music as Journeyman (with Colin Waterton) on Ntone and more recently as Max & Harvey (with Mark Butt) on Ninja Tune. His two Woob albums are still highly regarded and sought after today by ambient music collectors.

Towards the end of 2009 Woob 1194 was re-released and on January 1st, 2010 a new 10 minute single - 'Unknown Quantity'. This was followed in May 2010 by the album 'Repurpose' which combined remixes of old material with new tracks.
