Check this out. Animotion in 1985 with the classic 'Obsession':

And now...Animotion in 2004 performing same song. Methinks they have aged well...

Last but not least, here's some rare footage of the band I found captured in a nice chronological timeline:

Those are awesome 8)
They sure have aged well. It's good to see the original Animotion back in the fold. In the late 80s, they got a different vocalist (Actress Cynthia Rhodes) and despite having a massive hit with "Room to Move" in 1989, but it just wasn't the same
I have the Dance Mix of "Obsession" on 12", but it looks different from the one in the montage video

They do look great don't they! Loved the song and love seeing groups from the 80s strutting their stuff in the 00s.

I have a remix of "Obsession" on the B-Side of the "I Engineer" 12" single; it's the mix I use most. :)

Never heard of 'Room To Move' but having just watched it on youtube I can say that I hate it! ;D
Yes, they've done well. He's aged well in particular, and his voice still holds up very well.

Great find, Steve! :) The band mates do indeed look great... I remember "Room to Move" with Cynthia Rhodes (Mrs. Richard Marx) as the lead singer, but it just wasn't the same without Astrid Plane...
