Testi ispirati alle quartine di Omar Khayyam
…I suoni ondeggiano perciò tra una calma quasi trance e decise aperture in odore di etnojazz. L’equilibrio tra le parti non viene però mai meno e Milagro Acustico dimostra di superare la prova.

Last year, I chose Rubáiyyát of Omar Khayyam as one of my 10 favorite recordings for 2004, and noted that the cover design had to be my favorite for the year. Now that Milagro Acustico has two recordings released on major labels, I hope their work will not fall into obscurity. It is exciting to know that they are hard at work on their next project, and I, for one, am looking forward to its completion. I highly recommend their releases, and recommend keeping a steady eye (and ear) out for future ones.
