``Centrifuge,'' from Emerging Artist Antherius, Spins Its Way into the #10 Spot on the FMQB Chart alongside Supermajors Maroon 5, Colbie Caillat and Natasha Bedingfield

LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Houston-based keyboardist-composer-producer Antherius,
(www.antherius.com), (www.myspace.com/antherius), is all smiles this
week as his single "Centrifuge" ratchets up to #10 on the FMQB-AC
Radio Chart, alongside Maroon 5, Colbie Caillat and Natasha
Bedingfield. The hit single "Centrifuge" from Antherius' second album,
"2008-03", has enjoyed rapid success on both commercial and CMJ radio
since it was released on March 25, 2008.

Antherius' upbeat and unique music is finding its way to a broad
new set of fans who enjoy original instrumental tunes that are
mainstream in compositional structure but featuring harder beats and
acoustic edges draped in chilled/ambient accompaniments.

Reviewers across the internet have been praising Antherius' album
"2008-03." Matt Howarth of Sonic Curiosity describes the album as
"earthy, heartfelt, and chilly mien; quite infectious..." while Joseph
Italiano of Skope Magazine adds, "as smooth as glass; look no further;
(Antherius) as an instrumental writer, musician, performer;...a
balancing act that only the best of the best can pull off..."

It has been a very long time since an instrumental hit has fared
well on commercial radio, especially in the Adult Contemporary
format. Antherius is determined to help get instrumental pop/rock back
into radio mainstream - at least to the level instrumental songs
shared this space (with vocal hits) back in the late 1960's to the
early 1970's. He describes his music as a "casserole of elements" from
a very eccentric continuum of influences including Tangerine Dream,
Enya, ELO, The Moody Blues, Brian Eno, and legendary composer John
Barry.

Only a handful of artists like Antherius exist, who execute all
aspects of their music creation from composition, performing all (the
synth-based) instruments, arranging, engineering, and even the final
mastering. On the surface that appears quite daunting, but
increasingly possible in recent years by the dramatic improvements in
the underlying hardware and software technologies. For such
solo-musicians like Antherius and their fans, it is a "new age"
indeed.
