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
