Dialeto is a Brazilian Prog band that started in late 80's but just really started their career in late 00's. Chromatic Freedom (2010) is their second album and weird and strange are good words for it. In general, Chromatic Freedom (2010), has weird and unusual ideas. First of all the whole concept of the album. Chromatic scale is a musical term and the Chromatic scale uses all the 12 semitones in the musical scale, which means that every song is a semitone away from the previous one.

Musically speaking Dialeto has nice ideas like the weird riff in 'We Got It All' and you gotta love the weird vocals in the album too. 'Está No Ar' is another interesting one. While Eu Me Lembro' has many speeches throughout the track, 'Divided By Zero' is the fastest in the album.

Dialeto is a different band, period! It's not easy to 'swallow' their music and you have to listen several times to actually get what's going on. But it's worthy!
