During the 1992 Winter Music Conference, Antaeus received the "Best Disk-Jockey in Los Angeles" award. That year he also became a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the governing body for the GRAMMY awards.
Since 1989 he has been involved in recording, remixing or production for a diverse selection of artists such as Young M.C., Falco, Lonnie Gordon, Def Jef, Malcolm McLaren, Yanni, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Herbert Gronemayer and Earth Wind and Fire. Antaeus remixes for The Boys and the Rolling Stones have respectively earned him platinum and multi-platinum plaques. His club-oriented projects - under the names Jeek!, Aar and Beat Pulse Mecca - were released by Tribal/IRS and ZOO/RCA records.
In the mid-90’s Antaeus returned to Greece. Influenced by ancient Greek and Byzantine Music, he worked on a personal album titled "Byzantine Meditation". The chill-out soundscape that he created fuses voices, traditional instruments, electronica, hip-hop and drum ‘n’ bass. "Byzantine Meditation" was released in Greece in 1997 and it remained top-5 on the official Greek sales chart for several months. Over the next two years it successfully sold in many territories around the world. It has been variously described as "chill out music", "intoxicating sound scenery", and "music for body and soul".
In 2000 Antaeus released "World Prayer", his second album. A sound, resembling the JV-1080 dulcimer sound Antaeus used in several tracks of "Byzantine Meditation", was incorporated by Roland, one of the world’s largest synthesizer manufacturers, into its XV-5080 synth module. The sound was appropriately called "Byzantine".

I was going to buy the album Zero4 and got drifted to this album, I bought both and I have been listening to it over and over again. Very beautiful music, vary calming and rythmic. If I had paid twice as much for these albums I would still think they were well worth it.

If you like Bali music you will love it! This guy rocks I would recommend it to all. Music choice is subjective. I like Bali, smooth Jazz, this is a good mix. Very good universal wordage..if you are christian fundamental, you will not like it.

I love this album. It is something you can listen to over and over and not get tired of with the exception of song #3 which I skip. Ecclectic but COOL Greek music. I was introduced to it by a greek hotel's web site. I contacted them and they told me about it. Was NOT disapointed. Plan to get other CD by same artist.
