Underground Fossils is run by Dimxsk and often by Trylemma, who is on a hip hop spiritual journey in the Himalayas and may not be back for a bit. Posts are every Friday, usually some quality old sh*t but sometimes promotional posts or "reviews". We do all we can to make sure we don't post stuff that (1) You can still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You can reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You can download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asks us not to for any reason. Rips will include our own personal rips, old scene rips, and random web rips.

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!
