q From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
|pbetA4& Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
64'QTF{D selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
ujN~l_4 |' JN<? I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
o0F,!} cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
rZ5xQ#IA more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
ZZwIB3sNhf Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
BFP@Yn~k Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
Nu3IYS5& Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
J7oj@Or9 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
C+ Y;D: methods.

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
ZAeJTCCk can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
K4E2W9h foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
_8-1wx listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
+XX5;;IC course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
'43U v dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
J8@+)hn never undermines the content.
}TuMMO4+ =%>E8)Jb Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
t4~?m{ appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
\>w 2D Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
tBwPB#:W Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
kf~>%tES] to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
(5y*Btd= by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
}095U(@ Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
i*09m^r eISHV.QV So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
v] Xy^7? a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
^Ga_wJP8S found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
