Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
If industrial-dance music initially found its audience among Depeche Mode fans looking for something a little harder, Endanger might find their fan base among industrial-dance listeners looking for something a little... lighter. However, like Sweden's Covenant and Britain's VNV Nation, Endanger prove themselves so adept at infusing melody and hooks into their fast-moving calculus of beats and bass synth, even the most jaded rivetheads are bound to hear something that will prick up their ears. The duo of Rouven Walterowicz and Marc Pollmann balance their debut disc nicely, serving up driving electro anthems ("Inside," "In Silence") tempered with slower, epic, almost ballad-like compositions ("A Story Of," "Silkskin") and short, introspective instrumentals. A U.S. edition of an album released in Germany in 1999, this version of Motion adds three extra tracks--two remixes and one new song, "Lord." --Steve Landau

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the E-motion?, May 31, 2004

By	Azurestrangelove "Life in the So-Called Space... (Upstate NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Endanger is yet another lesser-known that I have somehow stumbled upon. It's pretty much straight forward EBM leaning a little towards synth pop. It's not great, but for the most part GOOD. What I like in particular about Endanger are the vocals, with the Deep German voice stylings. Think Depeche Mode meets VNV Nation in terms of resemblance.

This cd has some really good songs( "Integrity", "In Silence", "Tempture me" , and "Die Quellemeiner Kraft" ) but most of the others fall just short of greatness. They tend to be quite repetetive and void of any emotion, which makes them get old and boring pretty fast. This might be because the lead singer does not have a fluent grasp on the English language perhaps, because "Die Quellemeiner Kraft" is the best sung song on the album but that will probably improve with experience. It would also help if the band got a little bit more experimental with their sound, rather than using many of the same synths and beats over again to mix things up a bit. But the potential IS there. So hopefully this band wont become an Endangered species.

This album kicks ass! It practically feeds you energy. It makes you feel real. It awakens you. This is my personal experience of this album ;) My favorite track is "A Story Of.." There is just something so mezmorizing about that track that lifts you on another plane. The whole album finds a way to reach into different emotions while listening to his penitrating voice and amazing sounds... This CD definately deserves five stars and a shot at listening to. It's really inspired me personally and makes me feel ALIVE. That's what I look for in music...

5.0 out of 5 stars Review: "Motion" - Dancing Ferret Discs, February 28, 2001

By A Customer

Overall, Motion is a great CD with not only great music but intelligent lyrics! And as they say in the song "Integrity" -- "without MOTION there is no integrity", and this album is full of integrity!! A very aptly title CD, I haven't stopped moving since I turned it on, yes even here at my desk. I'd put this album at the top of the current Elektro evolutionary ladder!
