Infinite Love, the new record from guitarist Dustin Wong, may not be literally infinite, but it sure as hell is ambitiously epic. Clocking in at 1 hour, 20 minutes, Infinite Love is a double LP of visionary instrumental loopage in the Mark McGuire mode. A DVD with deeply psychedelic accompanying visuals comes part and parcel with copies of Infinite Love, and the vinyl version includes an entire EP of additional music called Indigo and Crystal. Taken all together, that makes for quite a hefty artistic statement. "I was just accumulating a lot of songs, and it got to a point where I had a lot, and I wanted to use all of it," says Wong, who first rose to popularity as part of fitful Baltimore act Ponytail, and with fellow guitarist Matt Papich in the far-out ambient group Ecstatic Sunshine. Saturday, Wong - a total shredder - will be at Northern in Olympia.
