Review of Feast or Famine by Axis Mundi.

Hailing
from the South African hub of Cape Town, UK artist Michael Martin,
known as Indidginus, has been making waves and dancefloor shakers for
ever a decade. For even longer, Michael has been an avid musician and
multi instrumentalist, and has made quite a name for himself across
many genres and industries of music, having played alongside, and
collaborated with, many respected artists, from the legends OOOD and
The Orb to Ishq and Eat Static. Michael has the talent, experience and
drive to make his recent release, 'Feast or Famine', a dancefloor
booster built also to be enjoyed in more relaxed settings as well. With
professionally expert mastering by Colin Bennun of OOOD notoriety,
Indidginus has obviously put great amounts of effort and time into his
collection of musical creations, and the result is remarkably
noteworthy. 'Feast or Famine', simply put, is a masterful collection of
ten solidly arranged masterpieces displaying unique talent found
nowhere else on Earth, which will be evidenced to the listener from the
first rotation in your players ever onward.

Funky Town »
Indidginus launches the listener straight into a mojo-filled, old-timey
disco groove in his cleverly appealing remake of the classic anthem
Funky Town. His unique take on this hit is a perspective refreshing
journey into the soul of funk interpreted through the lens of
21st-century audio synthesis and digitalism.

Tau Ceti » A
haunting, cybernetic zen-approaching into curtains the entryway into a
realm of groove. Bass as ripe as a red apple pumps out foundations of
crisp, percussive rhythm hits and eerily bobbling melody and pad
arrangements. Touches of ancient tribalism collide with futuristic
musical technology and innovative technique.

Tokalosh » Bouncy
ethnic percussion accompanies thick, key-changing basslines at the
outset, and as the sound progresses, more and more pleasing layers
filter in. Soothing washes of pads and glitchy foreground rhythms wend
their way about the soundscape, with a surprise twist of moods midway
through.

Law of One » Indidginus picks up the pace with this
nighttime full on stomper which ressurects the old school Ajuna sound
with acidic innovation. Breakbeat basslines timed by four on the floor
kickdrums keep the flow moving with serpentine precision. Between the
percussive elements and Indian raga vocals, 'Law' imparts unmistakable
feelings of sound come to life.

Lotus Eaters » This funktastic
thumper serves up heaping servings of churning, warm bass, kinetic
kickdrums and srisp, slapping snares. With plenty of glitchwork, melody
and vocal segments, Indiginus' energy lends itself well to the
uplifting buildups of positive dance vibrations which characterise this
sound so well.

Surya » With 'Surya', Indidginus has crafted you
a sonic transport vessel taking you to previously unknown dimensions of
digital sound. Pulsating rhythm stacks atop foot tickling bass and is
in turn the strata for vaulting melodies. Each arrangement opens
doorways for sequentially edgier and more aggressive, piercing layers.

Substrata
» Taking you to heavenly realms found seemingly within the hidden
cavernous reaches below, these masterfully arranged layers of
ear-tickling waveforms postulate new scientific fields of
geomusicology. Panoramic percussion and bouncing leads play your senses
like a violin and keep the dancefloor in motion.

Cosmic Trigger
» Indidginus lays out a superbly pleasing morning rocker fueled by
multicultural musical influences infused with a newly defined sound.
Each layer, crisp and distinct, grips you and adds to a track that is
as much a timeless journey through Earth's timeline. 'Trigger' is a
masterfully synthesized six minute fusion of ancient and modern
traditions.

Faerie Tale » An intro of crystalline, temporally
altered glass sweeps cascades straight atop thumping bassbeats and a
baseball team's worth of synth arrays which play their parts in
seemingly hive-mind unison. Melodies made up of this many sorts of
sounds stay fresh for many rotations, and topped with plenty of
dancefloor funk make this a must-have for energy ressurecting playlists.

Gene
Swarm » Indidginus' finale track to his latest and greatest album to
date packs every inch of the artist's experimental intuition and
knowhow until the very end. A chilled out, downtempo beat diverges away
from the accepted norms of trance music and explores this artist's true
sense of diversity and musical imagination and potential.

Review of Feast or Famine by Full Lotus (www.psymusic.co.uk)

Indidginus
is South African producer Michael Martin who has been actively making
music in the scene since 2001 and playing didgeridoo since 1996. Feast
or Famine is his second full length release and it’s a colourful
journey into the down tempo side of psychedelic music with a unique
Indidginus twist. Released at the end of 2008 on Micro Dot music from
Cape Town, this is one hell of a fun album that can only be described,
in my opinion, as accomplished clean sounding groovadelic music.
Kicking off with a reworking of the classic Funky Town, the tunes take
in a range of influences from ethnic sounds through to electro in
places and beyond. It has an infectious funky feel permeating the
tracks and keeps you on tenterhooks eagerly awaiting the next sound or
groove and ensures that those feet keep on tapping away furiously. This
has quality written all over it and is as refreshing as it is original.
With the tracks ranging in speed from 113 to 139 bpm, this album is
excellent sunshine music that should not be restricted to just the
global psychedelic trance scene but should go and infect the rest of
the global electronic dance scene. The album is a veritable feast, with
the famine coming only when it ends.

Available from the following reputable on-line shops:

Beatspace
Psyshop
Saiko Sounds

Review of Feast or Famine by Josh (www.bpmmag.co.za)

Michael Martin has been playing at festivals for years now, many of them being in our mother city, making the name Indidginus well renowned in our local psytrance scene. Following his downtempo album Align on the same label, he now brings us this progressive treat filled with funky rhythms and fun melodies. Ranging from 130 to 139 bpm and finishing off with a down tempo track, these tunes project a positive energy thats playfully psychedelic and extremely groovy. His signature sound can be best described as sharp kicks, electrifying bass lines and crystalline voice samples with added local flavour. Containing anthems and fillers, Feast or Famine provides an experience that is equally suitable for home listening and dance floors.
