Woob 1194 was the debut album of British ambient musician Paul Frankland. It was recorded over the span of two months and was released in the summer of 1994 on . It was also re-released in late 1994 on Instinct Records in the United States. It was Em:t's second release and is considered today to be a classic ambient album, and enormously influential.

The album blends together elements of ambient, dub, and world music into long pieces, combined with samples from field recordings, movies and television shows such as "Quantum Leap" and "Star Trek". The cover art depicts several Emperor Penguins in the wild, and they can also be heard near the end of final track of the album, "Emperor".

"1194" is probably the most well-known release on the Em:t label, and is sought after by collectors even today. It still appears on many "all-time best-of" lists of ambient albums, along with the likes of Biosphere's "Substrata", Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works Volume II" and The Future Sound Of London's "Lifeforms".
