Ambient/chill artist search: a band with a green album cover, 4 letters, 2 middle letters are "oo"(I think). Heard them here, emailed the dj, no reply. Must. write. them down. Longshot, but that's all I have to go on. :/

Can you describe the music more than ambient/chill?

Dark, droning? Trip-hop? New-Agey?

Doof at Last.fm.

The first thing I thought of was Mum which isn't 4 letters with a double oo but sorta fits the pattern and they have a green album, but with only ambient to go on it's a longshot.

Koop?
I know they have a song on my UltraChilled '03.
No green album cover, though.

Could it be Doop that you're looking for?

Possibly not actually a band name, but a Moog compilation album?

By: iconomy

iconomy — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 12:17:38 -0800

So is it doof, moog, mum, woob, doop, or koob? Say that three times fast. For some reason I don't think it's books, because yoga probably would have remembered that, seeing as how it's a real word. Probably moog, which was my very first thought. Followed quickly by my second thought, which was...everyone knows what a moog is, so it must be a doof.

But I could be wrong.

Wood? As in Medeski, Martin & Wood? Stretching the four letter thing, I know, but they have a green album cover.

Whoops, forgot to add: they have a featured artist page which lists "Kush," but they don't seem to have a green album cover.

Had thought of koop but can't track down a green album cover for them.

Sometimes on Last.fm there are strange/wrong album covers pictured for artists, so if Overexposure goes about it in a similar way, there's a chance the album cover isn't green.

I'm also going with Woob.

Longshot - David Toop?

You cannot describe the music even a little?

Were there beats at all? Total space ambient? What?

Sorry y'all I actually forgot I posted this! D'OH. I think it *is* woob. It was instrumental, and I vaguely remember a sort of latiny beat. It's possible I was misremembering the cover art - many times the cover image from the previous song lingers over the start of the current song. Or is displayed for the next song prior to the current song ending, so I may have the cover wrong. Woob definitely sounds right b/c I also remember laughing at the name.

Thanks for all of your detective work. I love you, and promise not to abandon my questions in the future.
