Journeyman is Paul Frankland of Woob's more full-bodied project. Maintaining the spare, amplified downbeat textures of the latter, Frankland with Journeyman focuses his attention on the cavernous spaces between Woob's echoing beats and mesmerizing rhythms, adding greater movement and a gorgeous depth of detail. As with much material by Woob, Journeyman's National Hijinx is replete with movie references which match the music's cinematic wanderings stroke for stroke. A few of the tracks toy with drum'n'bass figures, but always in ways that suggest a more purposive engagement; Frankland hasn't "gone jungle" as so many have (a good half of the album is beatless ambient, as well). This is polished, complex stuff, and a fascinating listen on the scale of FSOL or Ntone labelmates Neotropic. ~ by Sean Cooper, AMG

If you wondered what a touch of drum & base might sound like if added to one of Paul Frankland's 'Woob' efforts, you'll love National Hijinx. As 'Journeyman', he retains many of the ambient soundscapes, movie dialogue samples and simple swirling melodies that made 'Woob 1194' so cool. Make no mistake, National Hijinx ain't a CD of ketchy ditties or partay music faves. Although it's sound is younger than Woob 1194 or 4495, it's still too intellectual for mass consumption. Hijinx is continuously-mixed chill music with a couple of freaky-fast interludes, intended for solo listening or with rather musically-informed friends. If you like Kruder & Dorfmeister (K & D Sessions), Tosca (Opera), Boards of Canada (Music Has the Right to Children), Kid Loco (DJ Kicks), certain Pete Namlook or Robert Rich albums, go for this release. ~ by Bruce Ramsay
