Having only just recovered from Friday’s intense (for me) launch I have finally got around to completing the images for one particular item missing at launch. ‘The Stealth Emperor’ Is a Limited Edition (10-Only) all black variation tee with Inflight design perfect for getting Lost within a group of Emperor Penguins. There’s also a Snow Blizzard option available for a Limited Time – Reverse Yellow scarf recommended on this one for the full look! :) LINK [Read more…]
UPDATED – OUT NOW – Bandcamp // Woob HQ
Yes! it’s happening today! …Just I(‘m in UK time)
I’m running a lot behind schedule as forgot today clashed with Prototype Vector’s landing! but it is happening will post some reveal times a little later. Launch event post should begin proper around 10.10 pm (UK time) bookmark this page and get those F5′s/refreshes at the ready!
Lost 1194 Is a collection of previously unreleased recordings from the Woob debut album recording sessions at Square Center Studios. Digitally Re-mastered keeping the integrity of the original sound intact and formed from the alternate live mixes (Wuub had 6!) this collection combines to form an alternative take on 1194.
The roots of most of these recordings can be found in the original Woob six part cassette series. However there are tracks from that series that were not part of the original debut and some of these will also appear as part of this new collection. This launch Event Post will reveal various editions and how these will be included.
The Lost Prologue below gives you an ambient taster of the album to be released Tonight!
The amazing artwork is by French concept artist and illustrator Florian de Gesincourt the widescreen version will feature on the CD.

Above: Those grooves actually play Paradox III – that’s no mock up! The extra hole is a drive hole in the label area, used for engaging a special pin that prevents the disc from slipping on the turntable during the recording process.
Having achieved a great tone earlier this year with a one off Vinyl cut and the saturated sounds of The Six Hundred I still felt there was more avenues to explore and after receiving various emails from frustrated listeners who missed out on that ‘Ultra Edition’ Vinyl a new series was born.
Substrate Aluminum (named after the core or substrate that is the foundation of the record) is the vinyl partner to ‘The 600’ but whilst those warm saturated sounds could be compared to the feeling of an old comfy sofa after a hard days work, Substrate Aluminum is like sound dipped in a vat of the most expensive, melted Swiss chocolate. It has a richness and warmth that is the perfect antidote to a world filled with speakers spewing out stinging insect like overcompressed treble and nothing else – a small victory in the battle against the Loudness War.
woobhq.com is the new Woob store home to an exclusive selection of Woob Artifacts, including the new vinyl series – ‘Substrate Aluminium’ + Clothing, Prints, Special Edition CD’s & more. All profits will go towards creating new Woob music so spread the word + help keep the Wuub flowing LINK
