NIGHT THROUGH (SINGLES AND COLLECTED WORKS 1976-2004)

"Loren Connors is a name which still may not be familiar to many of you despite a career that spans over 30 years in the sphere of the most tantalising and independent stripped down guitar music ever produced. Emerging from a rich musical background, Connors (his Grandmother's surname, replacing MazzaCane) originally started recording and pressing-up his own records in the late 70s - but it was only in the late 80s that he achieved anything resembling popularity. It was a re-discovery by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Forced Exposure's Jimmy Johnson and Jim O'Rourke (among others) which catapulted Connors' music into the well polished sights of the avant garde, and before too long re-issues were surfacing of Connors' classic work and the delights of his blues influenced guitar improvisations could be enjoyed by those unable to track down his limited run vinyl pressings. With a recording career that spans over an incredible 9,000 hours of guitar music, this epic box set compiles some of the most interesting moments drawn from long-deleted 7"s, oddities culled from cd compilations and, most mportantly, previously unreleased works."
