Word of Ryan Farish's music spread like wildfire. 'Beautiful' presents Farish in his first outing for the Capitol Records subsidiary Neurodisc. Here, he sticks to his proven formula of pastoral synth and tight drum work, the very things that made him an independent success. Farish handles all the keyboards and programming while cohort Mike Daniels appears on cello throughout... 

I first heard his music when watching the local forcast on the Weather Channel back in early 2004 and although I wasn't familiar with who it was at that time, I was shocked to hear the same melodies when I heard the songs on this CD. Being turned on by the beautiful album cover, I gave it a try and WOW! This is an absolutely gorgeous and elegant debut release. The CD is described as a mix of Yanni, Tangerine Dream, and Robert Miles. Overall, I describe this as closer to Robert Miles as opposed to the other two with the exception of "Letting Go" which has a very Yanni-esque feel but having a far more sophisticated and beauty that Yanni can only dream of. "Secret Garden" is arguably my favorite song on this release having a beautiful electronic beat and fast rhythm. I absolutely love this album and I highly recommend acquiring a copy of it as soon as possible! - Reviewer on Amazon.com
