"unleashed whirlwind of musical insanity – in a somewhat controlled setting...in a class all by itself" --- Music Existence

"best described as ambient electronica with elements of pop-jazz and dubwise reggae and the inclusion of some Spanish and classical guitar...a haunting, eerie, dusky mood" - Alex Henderson

"Ian C. Bouras creates a cinematic, instrumental songs with embellishments of jazz, avant-garde, experimental, contemporary instrumental, and new age infusions that are almost indescribable. The tunes bring together classic guitar stylings with a reggae beat and electronic elements" - Matthew Fross

"highly original and fusionistic...Bouras is indeed a musical force to be reckoned with....Pieces of the Past delivers nothing but dark energy and comes straight from the speakers directly to your heart and soul." --- Jennifer Edwards (Indie Mutiny)

"catchy, well-crafted songs with exotic musical progressions that connect with the good in everyone...acoustic guitar, drums and bass and a million or so sonic tidbits...impeccable and lush sounding...7 spell bounding tracks...supernova of delight positive passion and sound exploding into your soul" --- David Plotts (Vents Magazine)

"my ears pricked up to the sonic style right away...so much depth" --- Jamie Funge (BandBlurb)
"powerful and eclectic album tells the story of a gifted player/composer with beautiful melodies, a smooth playing Jazz style that is emotional and at times very refined sonic feel...lush ambient-jazzy almost Latin-esque type tones...punch, depth, variety and emotive impact compatible with reality" --- Martin Zazycki (RocknRoll View)

"exceptional ambient disc that’s a very entertaining and soothing to the mind, body and soul...but wait it’ goes even further than Ambient, also present traces of Chill, Dub, and Progressive Electronic based Jazz" --- Eric Hodel (Skope Magazine)

"powerful, and somewhat haunting & lamenting...highly refined musical edge that combines an undeniable ambient-electronic backbone that goes down smooth. It has flavorings of Caribbean and Reggae guitar without compromising the electronic stylings" --- Joshua Fishkin (All Whats Rock)

"Why the heck haven't I heard of Ian C. Bouras yet?...full of the same dark mystery that rummages through the streets of NY and is only broken with the coming of the dawn...simply powerful and full of intrigue, passion, and wisdom...all tracks are passionate, while some are even dark and foreboding that will ring true" --- Diane Haensel (Music Emissions)

"Chill, Dub, Electronica Epic-Ambient-Theatrical painted against a highly creative and original sonic layering. I can even hear traces of Ambient Jazz, New Age and Neo Classical woven within the fabric of these songs...extremely unique, highly original, melodic, brilliant, and fascinating...interesting, infectious, yet emotionally genuine....quite exhilarating" --- Cyrus Rhodes (Gashouse Radio)
