KjrUTG0oA W\'njN 专辑介绍:
rjmKe*_1V U4DQ+g(A From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
+GgJF
Bl Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
!]%M selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
hK!Z~

}{ I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
0-)D`s% cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
br!:g]Vh more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
-qki^!Y? Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
V:M$-6jv Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
\z}/=Qgc Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
pRsYA7Ti music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
b\/:-][ methods.
RU>Hr5ebo B,sv! p+q5 Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
Onr#p4UT can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
{ VC4rA foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
By=/DVm)= listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
WZk\mSNV course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
/o=V
( dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
!HA[:-JCz never undermines the content.
h+mM X !5 Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
,jWMJ0X/N= appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
s)$N&0\ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
q!#e2Dx Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
C+-GE9= to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
@Md%gEh;& by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
hkw;W[ZWa Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
8~?3: IZ <,d .`0:y So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
>N>WOLbb7( a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
5T;M,w6DV found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
FblwQ-D a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
) W)m?% (that'll be the title track, then).
