From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka WfYu-TK*  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum yzJ
VU0s  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . O]&DDzo  
g*t(%;_m  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical iv@ey-,<  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather OtK=UtVI  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish >(nb8T|  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why S-@ E  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes >Wvb!8N  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the 91B
l{  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious w;f$oT  
methods. %6c[\ubr

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave DMO8~5  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and NbG`v@yH  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the \0. c_  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the }&|S8: 
 
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing QfqosoP\D  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that -;rr! cQ?  
never undermines the content. hS(}<B{x!

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his :
2^j/  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton x""gZzJ$L  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang 9UF
^h{X  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much wLX:~
]<xl  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off ^Yu<fFn  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of _G9vsi  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. oUXi4lsSc  
ZY NHVR  
So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is p%MH**A  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the /"$A?}V  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With ?"23XKe  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure ~o"V

(that'll be the title track, then). zB,Vi-)vH
