Z S Some of the most beautiful atmospheric ambient music ever created. Truly one-of-a-kind brilliance. Having all of Nest's glorious work in one collection is pure bliss.

Andrew Elliott This is difficult for me to choose as the whole collection of songs is great. I picked the vocal version of Last Vestige of Old Joy because the collaboration is perfect. Nest has some of my favorite dark ambient folk music and this is a must have for those interested in the same. Favorite track: Last vestige of old joy.

Moonbow 10:39
"Awaken. It's time we continue." "Herää. On aika jatkaa." We have come prepared, even for a longer journey, but we travel not across land alone. This trail bears the signs of many a traveler's passing. Be wary lest you too leave a mark.
2.
In death comes survival. In survival comes death. "Are you too intent on dealing death to evade it?!" "Regardless of the actions of some of our brethren, these are not weapons, but tools, and for a purpose. Yes, they are meant to kill. That much is obvious, for they are our survival."
3.
Kontio 04:45
"Se, Itse, Hän. Metän elukka." "Jumalan mies, Suuriherra, Mesikkinen, Metsänvaari. "Kouki, Kouvo, ja Tätinipoika" "Mörkö, Mönninkäinen, ja Kurko" "Otso, Kontio, Mesikämmen." "Karhu." "Älä sano! Älä kutsu metsän herran raivoa yllesi turhan päiten."
4.
Hunt 15:04
"Join us. Join us for the hunt. Come scattered brethren. It is time. The children are starving. We haven't eaten for days. Join us for the hunt." "Scent and trail have taken us here; to where our prey passes through this time each year. They favour this place for it gives them food and shelter. And so our lives too grow more secure, if only for a moment." "We are prepared." "Let us meet and see whom returns victorious - if at all." "This is a life-long struggle for survival. There's nothing glorious about it. Nor is there hate, nor honour. Such things have little meaning when the choice is between feeding and death. And you know that is no choice at all."
5.
The mire 07:11
This is a fool's errand. (He insisted I write this down)
6.
"Finally, some luck." "Greetings, lion of the sea" "Greetings, river wolf. You and your companions can rest undisturbed. No harm will find you here." "Come. Eat and drink your fill. We have plenty to spare. No-one shall be denied food, drink or shelter here while I'm still breathing." "Tulkaa. Syökää ja juokaa kylliksenne. Meillä riittää jaettavaksi. Keneltäkään ei kielletä ruokaa, juomaa tai suojaa täällä niin kauan kuin minussa henki vielä kulkee."
7.
"To tread the cold path across wintry waters and to breathe the cool air" "Where once great woods rose, now an ice-lake lies Under silvery cloak the fields it hides, and stays rivers with a forceful hand" "For long have I wanted to see my homeland again, even the fierce winters that I did not entirely enjoy in my youth, but I did not wish this. Not this. ...I should have never come back here." "Still, should this be the last thing I ever did before relinquishing life, I am content."
8.
Dying be the fire that keeps you warm But embers of the heart for the silver one May kindle again... Eat the distance from the place of ill memories Thus I left the homeland. My fate lies elsewhere. ...farewell.

Summer storm 04:07
An owl's cry echoes through the woods of old in the untamed wilds beasts stir and behold Dark, heavy clouds in horizon's arms tell of a storm a slowly waking tempest in the summer's warmth Rest easy dear friends. The clouds will pass and the sun rise again. Follow the light of the Morn, and know that your way is kept safe. ...now and forevermore...
13.
An old king sits upon an oaken throne. His posture noble, regardless of the toll of times. Now weary, but once a mighty warrior. Strong by form, just by heart. For long he has ruled, But now in an old age his mind wanders back to his youth. He remembers the times of glory, The adventurous days, the passionate nights. He has sailed the myriad seas. Fought the elements at the barren north. Life's misfortunes were just new challenges to experience and to learn from. In his reign there was no blame, nor did he evade his duties. But to rule was never his passion, though a task he had to honour. The memories, although polished by passing time, hold a place in his heart. He has lived a full life, and this he knows. When his chapter ends he can rest free of earthly woes. The old king sits upon an oaken throne. A grin still visible on his weathered face. When they come to carry him away to a rest well-deserved
14.
Renewal 03:51
"...oh, sweet longing, monuments crumbling in the winds of the ages..." The roots may be strong, but morrow yearns for seeds planted in deep seasoned grounds nourished by a gleam of determination grown for sturdy scions and in time new roots for our heirs "...of older times I tell. Not to bring back but to cherish..."
15.
Courting 04:20
16.
Light recedes only for a while The sunblade cuts to seek Pure as snow at winter's wake Light harbors at the darkest of seasons Earthbound reflections grant us life. As it is ...as it was given
17.
"The earth holds countless havens where solace may be found by a tender heart." The last flame flickers and dies the camp is asleep except for one He alone appreciates the delicate sounds and visions brought before him by the forest at twilight "Fireflies dance in the cool air to the sound of the crickets' serenade a gentle smile forms on the watcher's lips But the owl's cries fade away and the night's creatures hide before the rising mist as dawn comes..."
18.
Hideout 04:24
19.
"Your folk know me as the whisper in the wind The bringer of soothing a gentle guardian of sleep" "My voice so calm before now thunders across the land calling you to take heed delivering news of hard times ahead" "Gather your children and flee to the far southern borders North will be your home no more. Leave this region with haste for the time of the scourge's coming is still unknown" "Take heed of my warning for too many past folk have perished, the folk dear to me. This doom is not the first to come nor the last that I shall see." Great masses of ice will appear flow across these fertile lands and swallow all you once called home...
20.
"A breath into the earth to form a dense mist, divide the land in two and hold old friends." "Who knows why the mist never disperses. It is as thick as it was in ancient times. And the times are ancient, for the mist was old even when our grandfathers' grandfathers were young. Stories tell that the mist was not always there, and that we used to fare in the lands beyond, but those days must be long gone..."

"Once we played in this forest in the shade of the tall trees at the dawn of this particular time but many an aeon has passed since and many a fate has changed ...and our great woods died no new seeds have been planted for ages and those that were have been torn out from the soil"

about

This is the definitive collection of all studio material Nest has released before 2014. It contains all songs from "Trail of the unwary", "Woodsmoke", "Hidden stream" and "Fabled lore" + the Agalloch cover "Haunted birds" + the Skepticism cover "The gallant Crow" + "Last vestige of old joy" (both with Agalloch contributions and the rare acoustic version without the acoustic guitar and vocals by Agalloch) + "Summer storm" acoustic version.

In this collection, A.T. of Nest painstakingly examined each song, and corrected clicks, pops, etc. he found. For the first time ever, you get to hear the music free of errors and glitches caused by old school recording equipment. The sound has not been remastered or altered otherwise, because we feel that the listener should get the audio as it was originally intended.

Thank you to all who have supported Nest's music throughout the years. You are the reason why this collection saw the light of day, and we want to give you something special. Cheers!
