Woden (album)

Woden is a 2012 album by Julian Cope. It consists of a 72-minute single movement, described by Cope as "one enormous meteorological cloud of music originally conceived as a vast and atmospheric 72-minute-long follow-up to his Ur-vocal masterpiece ODIN, then temporarily shelved in favour of the LAMF release". He has said that the atmospherics include field music from Avebury and Silbury. It has been compared to the early, eerie ambient works of Brian Eno and Aphex Twin.

Woden is perhaps Cope's best 72 minute psychedelic druidistic album. A "single-track-synth-drone-meditation", it is highly regarded by fans of the genre. Cope intended the recording as a "useful meditative aid, but it’s even better for gaining access to the Underworld, the vast weather formations of sound guaranteeing that Hell’s doorway remains open for 72 minutes at a time."

Woden was not a commercial success.
