Animal (port) DIALETO is an Art-Rock band formed in Brazil in 1987 by Nelson Coelho (Zero, Sotaque, Akira S) on guitar and vocals, Andrei Ivanovic (Blue Jeans, O Terço, Durex, Sotaque, Vultos, Okoto ) on fretless bass and Miguel Angel (Durex, Sotaque, Okoto) on drums and backing vocals.
The band, which used to play on the underground rock scene of the city of Sao Paulo in the late 80's, returns now after 14 years, resuming the same enthusiasm and energy that was their mark back then. DIALETO's music is constructed from cultural references of the progressive rock (King Crimson, ELP), hard rock (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple), jazz
rock (Mahavishnu, Miles Davis) and the eastern folk music.
The band is releasing their first CD recovering the songs from the 90's, including "Existence", song inspired by a traditional theme from Pakistan and Afghanistan, which the chorus "Will Exist Forever" names the album. The basic tracks of this album (guitar, bass and drums) were recorded at a farm during the Carnival of 1990 and were first released on LP in 1991 under the name "Dialect". For this CD release, all vocals, additional guitars and violins were re-recorded due to the lost of the original overdubs and to take advantage of the new technologies, resulting in a fresh and up-to-date work.
There are 6 songs with vocals and 3 instrumental only, plus 2 bonus-tracks including a jamming named "Just for Free" recorded during the original sessions and one version of "Animal" sung in Portuguese.
The power trio re-assumes now its intense music, sometimes unpredictable and mysterious, filled with unconventional improvised parts with sonorities that send us to far and imaginary places, in a truly sensory challenge.
Reviews
'Will Exist Forever can be summed up in one word: Fun. This Album is not Deep. It is not beautiful. It is not Diverse. It will not shock you or appall you. However, if you are willing to let yourself be caught up in some very groovy, mid seventies metal style jams, occasionally with a toss of the spacey, then Dialeto will doubtlessly prove well, for the lack of a better word, a very fun band...All in all, when Dialeto sticks with what works, it works. And what works? what works is that classic metal groove they do, when they start to sound like a (successfully) funky Led Zep. Case in point, my hightlights are things like "seven Drunks" and "animal," where the whole point of the song is the bass and drums working up some kind of rhythmic storm, all while the guitar freaks out. The psychedelic stream of consciousness touches are nice to break up the action (Mme. Blavastky, Enigma), but when they get out of control, it usually doesn'tend well.
But thats a big usually. For the most part, Dialeto seem to know what they are doing. They're a good set of musicians, and very attuned to each other. When they jam, it might not be the most technically perfect sound on the planet, but it is a very, very enjoyable one. If anyone out there likes the heavy, jammy side of King Crimson or Deep Purple, then Dialeto is definitely a progressive treat.
(As a super special bonus, CD copies of Will Exist Forever contain two extra tracks. "Just for Free" is a fairly aimless instrumental that contains all the technical wizardry of "Vermelha" but none of the charm and atmosphere. However, the Portugese version of "Animal" is great; it sounds more natural than the album version, probably due to the fact that it's in a language I can't understand. Which helps me to focus more on the groove, which is fine as far as I'm concerned. Neither track is particular essential, but you wont hear me complain about the addition run through of "Animal.")
