From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka bCL/"OB  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum \MU-D,@  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . w}WfQj  
RE%25t|  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical vi;yT.  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather T jrz_o)  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish %F2T`?t:  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why N#<X"&-_#  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes i[4t`v'Dk  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the

music is several steps above even Special's fastidious ~oX`Gih  
methods. VoC|z

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave 9l<}`/@}W  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and enJgk(  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the qg#|1J6e  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the b 6
B5  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing >|@i8?|E  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that N9A#@c0O  
never undermines the content. _M;M-hk/

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his J"Z=`I)KON  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton >=Pn\"j  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang @XL5$k[Y  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much >M eM  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off fyE#8h_>4  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of qu:nV"~_  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. IDIok~B=e  
)IH|S5mG?  
So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is M#7w54~b?M  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the Ghb Jty`  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With Ob#d;F  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure $G-<kC}8:  
(that'll be the title track, then). kU[hB1D5
