''Woob2 4495'' is the second full-length album from Woob, the stage name of ambient musician Paul Frankland. It was released in the UK on em:t records on 21 September 1995. ==Overview== While not generally regarded by ambient music fans to be as cohesive or ground-breaking as its predecessor, ''Woob 1194'', ''Woob2 4495'' still contains material reckoned to be among the best ambient music released in the 1990s - particularly the 25-minute long ''Depart'', and the album's closer, ''Later''. It also contains the shortest Woob track to date, the 33-second long ''Cupboard'', which is made up of elements of ''Depart''. The album also makes less use of vocal samples than 1194, instead utilising organic sounds such as hand-claps and heartbeats. Frankland himself was dissatisfied with the album; in a 1998 interview, he said: "Woob² did not quite live up to my expectations. On a compilation I had a track where the band really played together with guitar, drums and bass. I wanted the second Woob album to really sound "live", but that was not possible".〔http://www.emit.cc/interview/1998-01-woob.jsp〕 More recently, in 2009, he stated "the second was a lot more structured, with mostly predefined arrangements", lacking the spontanteity and serendipity that defined the first album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Woob 1194 Re-released: Copies to Give Away, Paul Frankland Interview -part II )〕 The album's cover (like all em:t releases of the 1990s, a digipak), shows a keel-billed toucan. Unusually for an em:t release, however, the sleeve folded out, to reveal two cartoon-like illustrations. Two tracks recorded during the ''4495'' sessions ended up on em:t compilation CDs - one that emerged before the album itself was released, and one after. These are ''Fourteen Thirty Three'' featured on Em:t 2295, and ''Mould'', (which makes use of samples taken from the film ''Sex, Lies, and Videotape''), which featured on Em:t 5595. Elements of ''Mould'' would be re-used on the track '' Stranger Air'', on the ''Repurpose'' album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woob2 4495」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
