(Q}ByX aI_[h
v From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
*NCkC
~4 Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
R^&.:;Wi> selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
2"IDz01ne Hd57Iw I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
L'u*WHj|v cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
<HH\VG\H6 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
#T++
5G Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
K8RV=3MBLD Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
l-$5CO Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
U<I]_] music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
t 09-y methods.

[2 i'p6# Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
z>z9xG' can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
:pvB}RYD foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
=d#(n M* listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
[,sm]/Xlc course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
jr/IU=u*v dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
"P

xjWD30 Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
z-_$P)[c appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
~Z' /b|x<3 Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
~-
eB Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
5Zn: $?7 to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
m{f+! by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
aRy" _dZ2 Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
|J$Bj? ?D;7ut$~ So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
I(>j"H)cAF a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
m

found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
3v~[kVhoG a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
Q'rgh+6 (that'll be the title track, then).
