专辑介绍： +(QMy&DtS

From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka +LQs.*  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum 6k@%+<1  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . C*W
.9  
Rk437vQD,  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical S`GXiwk  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather Ovaj":L  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish +e V4g2w)  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
'b=eC  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes Pv{,aV\I}  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the Ab^>z  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious u>3&.t@hU1  
methods. J^s<x#C

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave *uI hxMX  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and \Age9iz&  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the )"pxry4v7J  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the ReHd~G9  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing HdY3DdC%q  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that ={mPg+Ei'  
never undermines the content. Dho[{xJ46

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his T;4gcJPn"M  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton bgzT3KZ  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang '1kj:Np  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much G+ $)W u  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off *Lb(urf   
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of 0?5%  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. 2d>d(^

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is vs'L1$L'c  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the 7=QC+XSO  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With \ ]kb&Qw  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure 764}yV>  
(that'll be the title track, then). f)AW!/
