The smooth sounds on Ian C. Bouras' album, "The Certaintity of Being Found," are a fantastical trip of unique musical talent. This album almost surprises the listener with the range of genres that are under the artist's label of "ambient." From Reggae to flamenco guitar to a little dub step, this album packs a punch...in the most melodious way possible. "Thoughts On Angles and Sarcasm (Interlude)" is a track that breathes. That is to say, it has a slight pause every couple of seconds after each of which a fuller tone of the song comes out. Utilizing an acoustic guitar that is confident and solid, this track really speaks to the talent of the artist. "The Bounce," as its name may suggest, is a groovy, danceable tune, and has slow moving tempo interludes; adding to the easy listening vibe that comes with each of these tracks. All around, "The Certaintity of Being Found" is great for fans that enjoy fresh and original ambient Reggae music.
