Animotion
Animotion is an American synth-pop band from Los Angeles, California, best known for the songs "Obsession", "Let Him Go", "I Engineer", and "Room to Move". Formed in 1983 from the remnants of a retro science-fiction band called Red Zone, the band emerged during the height of the new wave and synth-pop movement, combining electronic instrumentation with rock influences. They signed a record deal with Mercury Records in 1984 and released four studio albums.
Their self-titled debut album, Animotion (1984), featured "Obsession", which became a major international hit, reaching the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and charting in multiple countries. The band followed up with albums such as Strange Behavior (1986) and Animotion (1989), but underwent several lineup-changes, including the departure of founding-members Astrid Plane and Bill Wadhams.
After disbanding in the early 1990s, Animotion reunited in 2001 with its original members and has continued to perform live. In 2017, they released Raise your Expectations, their first studio album in nearly 30 years.
