KB0HM 82nQ] 专辑介绍:
AcqsXBKd O(2)A>} From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
-NHA{?6r Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
_DnZ=&=MA selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
<5%x3e"7u 66NJ&ac I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
%5?qS`/c( cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
0,a\vs%@X more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
2MS1<VKZ@ Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
9tDo5
29 Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
]
vo&NE Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
OSY$qL2 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
'H+H

_WO*N9Iz F'^6ra9 Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
;7Cb!v1 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
[xe(FFl+ foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
g
<S&sYF5 listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
L #c*) course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
1S/KT4 dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
#EQwl6 never undermines the content.

rD d:cs8f4> Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
E%@,n9T~" appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton

Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
9.:r;H G to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
G;#-CT by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
B
QmHYar Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
?WyL|;b* wQ]!Y?I So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
