There are several bands, acts and projects called ‘Nest’ - starting with the most popular (according to Last FM statistics)
1. Nest is the collaborative project of Otto Totland (Deaf Center / Type Records) and Huw Roberts (Serein). The two started working together after forging a strong friendship as former members of the Miasmah label.
Both pianists, there is little wonder that after exploring a plethora of musical styles, the two find themselves most at home writing traditionally structured pieces, with the ivories a major element throughout. Their music demonstrates clearly the innate ability the two have for song writing, borrowing from the world of film soundtracks and contemporary classical composers to craft delicate instrumental compositions.
Alongside their favoured instrument can be variously heard the plucked strings of the Welsh harp, violins, woodwind instruments, field recordings, percussion and a heady dose of mind wobbling effects. From the time Nest began writing together, one purpose was clear; to produce beautiful music free of pretense, and they do it exceptionally well.
2. Nest is the musical work of Finnish musicians A. Tolonen and T. Saxell. Their extraordinary atmospheric sound is based on Kantele, ancient & traditional Finnish plucked string instrument of the zither family.
A hidden pool amidst the woods where the otters come to play, an owl’s faint call echoing through the woods, sparkling waterfalls and vast snowcovered landscapes where the reindeer folk and wolves hold their domain. These are only some of the things with the atmosphere Nest strives to capture.

That is lame to use the label's rights in order to replace the profile image of two bands with your own one. http://www.lastfm.ru/music/Nest/+images/40074943

I prefer the Finnish Nest to the Norwegian. Unfortunately the Norwegian Nest didn't work out for me ... it sounded way too plain :(

Заебенные вещи. Особенно marefjellet с ипишки. Если б мне удаолость создать что-нибудь столь же прекрасное, я б моментально удавился, дабы не нарушать гармонию момента последующим существованием и тщеславием.

@dgriffiths: I only have the split w/ agalloch, Woodsmoke, and Trail of the Unwary, and each are very good. However, I still think Woodsmoke is the best place to start for a newcomer. Trail of the Unwary is very good, but the songs are more drawn out, and complex, yet at some moments much more ambient and serene. To truly get a feel for the sound, my vote is Woodsmoke. I cannot speak for Fabled Lore, or the other earlier works unfortunately.

I downloaded some of the free tracks... The Silvershade Lynx ends rather abruptly, anyone else notice?

Which album should I start on? I LOVE the song they did on the Agalloch / Nest 10" split... "Last Vestige of Old Joy"

Both the Finnish and the (lesser known) Norwegian Nest are great! Those who love the Finnish Nest should also have a listen to the Norwegian one: http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=ser013 .

Through Nest and Tolonen I became familiar to kantele - now every time I hear the beautiful kantele sound it somehow transports me to a vast barren field with a clear horizon ahead. Nest's music is probably the perfect soundtrack for a lonely purifying walk through Nature.
