Composer Ryan Farish is heard most widely by those who consult The Weather Channel on a regular basis; his talents have also been utilized for in-house purposes by such major corporations as IBM and Sun Microsystems. These two facts may lead you to expect numbingly pleasant, utterly boring music with a professional sheen and a saccharin-sweet favor. You'd be only about one-third right. It's true that Farish's music is about as intellectually challenging as People magazine. But that's not to say that it's either boring or syrupy. Remember the Ramones: intellectually speaking, their music wasn't even up to People standards (it was more like The Weekly World News), but that doesn't mean their songs weren't spectacular. While Farish is no Joey Ramone, his ability to mix luscious, piano-driven chord progressions with funky breakbeats and faux-ethnic vocals (a vaguely African-sounding children's choir here, a vaguely Celtic-sounding female singer there) makes his most simplistic compositions both genuinely listenable and even, at times, downright fascinating. Not all of them, mind you -- "Legacy" is pretty embarrassing -- but many of them. Note the artfully wielded vocal samples on "Miles Away," for example, and the subtle trip-hop intimations in the gently swinging title track. Recommended to those who are embarrassed to admit that they like new age music. ~ Rick Anderson

Good song
Yea, i first heard Pacific Wind on, believe it or not, the weather channel and wondered who it was and concluded that I would never find out who the artist was- like most songs I hear on TV. But I found out who it was and, although I listen to different music that this, I am very moved by this great style of music given to us by some higher-order life form (kinda like Mozart).

I first heard the song "Pacific Wind" on an e-mail that was sent to me and I was spellbound by the sound. I purchased the CD "From the Sky" and have been listening to it endlessly. I truly can loose myself when I am listening to Ryan Farish's music. I thank God for your talent and sharing it with so many people. God Bless you!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Ryan delivers again....
on his 2nd cd release. The cd is very uplifting, soothing and will boost your spirits for sure. "From the Sky" really separates itself from the debut, "Beautiful" with more vocals and some native chants, Ryan sets a path in a new direction, yet stays true to himself. From the 1st song, "The Promise" through the ending of "Rejoice". I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for great music.

From The Sky songs
$12.69 
Blue Stone is a collaborative project between multi-instrumentalist Bill Walters and producer/programmer Robert Smith (who also makes chillout recordings under the name Bella Sonus). Breathe is their debut as a duo, and the music they make here is pleasantly easy on the ear, with overtones of classical and worldbeat as well as the occasional whiff of a gothic influence. It's not terribly exciting music, but excitement isn't the point: what they're shooting for is ...
