Artist description Poetic, enigmatic, thoughtful, sexy...I see people every day on TV, listen to them on the radio, hear about them in the news, and I wonder just how they came to be so. Do they actually think of themselves in that context? Exciting...Dynamic...Are there actually people out there who have the body of an angel and the charisma needed just so you don't get pissed off at them? Or does media work its wonder to make them so? As it stands, they must have some degree of self confidence to pull off an act as that. So here's mine...I am an artist who tries to describe the life I have been leading. I want to find the poetry in my own world, and attempt to translate it into song. Fortunately, I have been blessed with some sort of musical talent, dividing my time between songwriting, singing, programming, and learning about different instruments. Even if I can't play a specific one well enough, I try to learn about the nuances in the tone of a particular instrument, so that when I do meet someone with the talent to play, I can communicate in detail about how I would want it to sound. I hope it is as interesting for you as it is for me.

Musical Influences life - It's the music everyone has to live through

Artist History The journey to Descriptive, the first album released by singer/songwriter Rob Palacol, has taken nearly three years to complete, but the results have been unquestionably worth the wait. After two years of touring Western Canada, Rob has produced a textured and lyrical work of music art, one that is sure to enrapture an audience as diverse as the songs contained within. Descriptive strives to be precisely that, embodying Rob Palacol's feel of the music. With lyrics that flow together like a river, each line melding into the one before, he certainly seems to have attained his objective. The album reads like a book of poetry that has been set to music. And it's fortunate for all that it was, because as skilled as Rob is with the pen, he is more so with the vocals that weave in and out of Descriptive like an ethereal dream. The intensity found in his lyrics can also be seen in his personality. There is little he cannot do once he is determined to accomplish it...

Press Reviews Descriptive " A SONIC MASTERPIECE "- Vancouver's Rock 101 Descriptive " Nominated for Outstanding Pop Recording and Album Design of the year" PMA 1999 Rob Palacol " DESCRIPTIVE " album review by Caryn Swark The Sheaf April 01/99 The title of the first album from Saskatoon artist Rob Palacol may be Descriptive, but his music defies easy classification. I can't put a label on - well, on whatever this is, and I wouldn't presume to try.Descriptive is clearly an experimental album. Palacol seems to be playing with the music,determining how far he can take it in one direction before slamming into a U-turn at 100 miles an hour on a city street. This album is a study in contrasts, ranging from the dance floor beat of " SHOWTIME (Prelude To The Moment )" to the lulling, hypnotic notes of "Renegade Dove". Palacol is a versatile artist, making good use of programming, guitar, and voice. Some of the best moments on the album, however, occur when he simply allows his voice to take the lead. "Killing Fields", quite possibly the best song on the album, reaches dizzying heights by relying heavily on vocals. And they're good lyrics:" Struggle with your faith/ Because it interfereswith mine/ Together we will walk / ... Into the Killing Fields again."The experimental sound of the album is nice; lt gives it depth and variety, but his strengths are his simplest. Of course, nothing on the album is particularly simple ( Britney Spears fans beware ). Descriptive is a cacophony of awe-inspiring power. Palacol has produced 45 minutes of intense and captivating emotion, flowing together in what should be an impossible succession, but isn't. I don't know why it works; it just does. Prairie Dog "DESCRIPTIVE" review by Emmet Matheson JULY 1999(My personal favorite) The New Age Christian guru meets Robert Frost in a discotheque routine really repulses me, but you chuckle-heads out there will probably buy a MILLION damn copies of this preachy, over-sentimental, hi-tech dancehall folk album. Rob, less is more. Unless you're Prince, and you're not. Bob Wiseman is.
