Astounding! Even better than his first album!, July 26 2005
By Distant Voyageur "Nicholas Computer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From the Sky (Audio CD)
I loved his debut album "Beautiful" and was excited to hear about the release of his sophomore album entitled "From The Sky" and let me tell that this is an incredibly gorgeous follow-up to his debut and in fact, this is even better. "From The Sky" is a lot alike his debut album in general but is brighter, sunnier and more upbeat. "The Promise" is a new turn for Farish's music including some tribal chants and some childrens' tribal choir with a great melodic soundscape.

From The Sky by Ryan Farish, May 5 2006
By Felipe Sahurie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From the Sky (Audio CD)
This is Ryan Farish's follow up to his "Beautiful" CD.Invigorating and inspiring, the songs on this CD are pensive, meditative and reflective.If, like me, you loved "Beautiful's" infectious good cheer and impossible to resist hooks, you'll not be disappointed with From the Sky.Farish branches out into Deep Forest-ish territory with third world chant/chorale samples on the opening "The Promise" (set off against his usual piano, snare/high-hat beats, and flowing keyboards).He incorporates these same elements in a few other spots on the album (e.g. the celebratory "Joy").
"Living Water" opens with breathy wood flute samples and also features the first noticeable appearance of acoustic guitar, deep in the mix but easily heard on headphones, and the beats have a more sensuous if not primal urgency, counterpointed by almost blues-jazz piano.
Some songs hone closer to the sound Farish perfected on Beautiful, such as "Home Again" and "Legacy", which is a trippy beat-laden "happy to be alive" kind of tune featuring excellent use of female chorals with piano, beats and lush synths, as well as some funky bass rhythms."Miles Away" is a slower tempo piece that would be ideal accompaniment for a brisk walk along a country lane.
The title track is a slow tempo song but dramatic affair which again uses orchestral strings to greater effect than simply applying a layer of wash of violins."Rejoice", the album closer, starts off sounding like Ray Lynch before veering over into Deep Forest tribal chants set against a percolating backbeat, lilting lively flute samples, and eventually Enigma-esque rhythms, all the while retaining the particular plucked string synth sound.
My favorite song from this CD would have to be the beautiful "Pacific Wind", which features stunning female vocals with a nice piano piece to back it up.
In conclusion, "From The Sky" amply displays Ryan's strong blend of reverbed piano, bubbly beats, expert layering of assorted keyboards and chill-out/electronica effects, as well as production that is flawless in every respect.I highly recommend this CD to all music lovers, trust me, you won't be disappointed with this CD, I know I wasn't........

As a newcomer to New Age music..., Oct 20 2005
By Catfish - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From the Sky (Audio CD)
and therefore to Ryan Farish, I can say that I really enjoy his albums but cannot compare him to other New Age musicians. I bought "Beautiful" because I saw a piece on Mr. Farish on TV, and I really enjoyed that CD. This CD is much the same as "Beautiful", so you know what to expect if you have the previous CD. I have both these CDs at work, and I play them so that I can get some work done...they are ideal for that! The music is well, relaxing, but not sleep-inducing. I just can't come up with any words to characterize this music, so, if you are tempted, listed to the downloads. I think you will like them!
