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”.

Odd...this is apparently a cover version. It does NOT sound like Astrid Plane's vocals.

Ok, this didn't sound like Animotion. Sounded like a cheap copy on the vocals, but the instrumentals were fine. ?

This was another song that was pretty much me in my teen years of the 80s. Obsession.

Obsession must have been in so many opening themes for programmes for the eighties. Good stuff.
