Animotion was a 1980s U.S. New Wave/synthpop band best known for their songs “Obsession” (originally written by Michael Des Barres and Holly Knight), “Let Him Go”, “I Engineer” and “Room to Move”. Formed in 1983 from the remnants of a retro science-fiction band called Red Zone, they signed a record deal with Polygram Records in 1984 and made three albums

.Astrid and Charles put the band together in 1983. Astrid invented the name Animotion to convey energy and emotion. They recruited former L.A. Red Zone band members Frenchy OBrien (drums) and Paul Antonelli (keyboards). Larry Ross (manager) quit CBS records to become their full time manager and he brought in Bill Wadhams to front the band with Astrid. In March 1984 they did a showcase for Russ Regan of Polygram Records and inked the deal soon after. KROQ in Los Angeles, put Obsession on “heavy rotation” in December 1984…

Radio stations around the world continue to play Animotion’s biggest hit, “Obsession”.
