Neila - When Past is Present (2007)





Happy Friday! Trylemma had a busy week so I'm covering the Friday offering for today, with When Past is Present by the peerless Neila.

This album appears to be a greatest hits sort of collection of her earlier (not earliest, Vertical Trees with Eternal Leaves and When the Bells Crow mostly) released for the Japanese market only by Swamp Records. It showed up on Discogs recently and as a huge fan of everything Neila does I had to pick up a copy.

While a lot of these tracks may be familiar, having them all in one place is convenient and the album also features two songs ("Laugh a Little" featuring Lord Zen and "Paper Airplanes") that weren't released until 2012's beautiful Marked for Breath which a lot of you may be missing. We will post that one eventually, but for now after combing the internet for this album and realizing it was totally OOP and nobody seemed familiar with it I figured it would make a good Friday Fossil. UGF rip in 320 kbps, naturally. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
