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.
