2012 release. Acid Cobra is Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator, Faust), who has remained a cult figure throughout a career that has included collaborations with Jaki Liebezeit (Can), Michael Gira (Swans), Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), Jac Berrocal (Catalogue), Faust, Pascal Comelade, and so many other luminaries from the international music scene. Yesmissolga, Acid Cobra Records, and Lumberton Trading Company present Petrified Minds, a collection of solo works by this curious figure of the avant-garde. Fusing wiry yet strong song-craft with the faintest air of psychedelia, a dash of avant-weirdness, and fervent post-punk sensibilities, this album catches some of Cambuzat's most focused work so far. Released in a limited edition of 300 copies in a full-color digipak with original art by Acid Cobra.

2012 release. Cold Waters is the result of a very short yet intense meeting between Jean-Hervé Péron (Faust) and Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator). The duo met in the French countryside -- two days, two mics, two friends, and a dog... from hilarious to heart-striking, these "Songs from the Mill" flowed through them. Cold Waters, far from being an anecdotal side-note to their ongoing collaborative efforts in the legendary "krautrock" band Faust, reaffirms the duo's successful explorations as leading figures of avant-rock. Cold Waters combines the best of the early-'70s Faust sound with the freshness of today. This album is a mixture of joyful play, liquid psychedelia, pounding aural textures, delicate drones, and stormy meanderings that break into exalting voyages beyond the bucolic countryside in which it was recorded. Jean-Hervé Péron is one of the founders of Faust. Despite the now-historic split in the band, Faust, under Péron, continues to tour extensively, including 2012 US shows in collaboration with The CalArts Orchestra. Amaury Cambuzat founded Ulan Bator, a French experimental post-rock group whose 2000 album Ego:Echo was produced by Michael Gira (Swans). The duo have been working together since the early 2000s in Faust. Péron and Cambuzat both have side projects as Art-Errorist and Acid Cobra respectively. Presented in a full-color digipak.

2007 release. Charlemagne Palestine's The Apocalypse Will Blossom is a stunning piano performance that brings Palestine's recorded work thundering into the 21st century. Working in the lower registers of the piano, as Palestine did in the late '70s, this intensely powerful live performance is unlike anything he's previously released. Recorded in 2000 by Christoph Heemann at the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst in Aachen, Germany (on the occasion of the 1000-year celebration of Charlemagne), and subsequently processed by Heemann, The Apocalypse Will Blossom offers the closest experience one can have to hearing Palestine live without witnessing one of his performances. This recording is offered in a CD digipak printed in full color with a collage inspired by Palestine's visual work representing the four horsemen of the apocalypse and an original collage detail of Triomphe de la Morte by the French artist Jacques Brissot. Charlemagne, NOW!

Yessmissolga presents the CD release of the long-fabled duo collaboration by Steven Stapleton and Christoph Heemann. This historic live performance took place on November 21, 2009, at the ancient Ivrea Synagogue in Ivrea, Italy. After working together for many years on various Current 93, Nurse with Wound, and H.N.A.S. sessions, these two old friends met for a rare moment of performance completely independent of thematic material and engaged in a near-telepathic, mysterious one-to-one improvisation, where textural worlds merge, hot, on the spot. While one may discover an intriguing intersection between each of their respective solo works, the real magic of this duo encounter evokes something strangely unfamiliar and altogether new. With this generous edit of the highly acclaimed concert, Painting with Priests exhibits a rare session of both artists' eccentric talents in a palette of colors and mystery across a highly detailed musical canvas. Front cover features new artwork by Stapleton, with back cover featuring a previously unpublished drawing by Heemann. Packaged in a full-color Japanese-style gatefold mini-jacket featuring a totally different Stapleton front cover and alternate mix from the LP version released on Robot Records/Elica Editions (ROBOT 044LP).
