"Ryan Farish's Beautiful is one hundred percent electronica ear candy...Farish creates his music from a blend of silky smooth electronic keyboards (as sampled instruments and as overtly synthetic sounds), percolating catchy beats and sensual rhythms in the mold of Enigma. Dagda, NuSound et al....It's an excellent recording and is certain to please chill-out fans or followers of the artists mentioned earlier in the review. The appeal of all those catchy beats, smooth synths, and evocative piano, wrapped in textbook perfect production and engineering, is undeniable. Like fine chocolate, Beautiful is both delicious and impossible to resist. You'd be a fool not to indulge in it (at least a little), and as such, I recommend the album."
