+aQM %~ ~F"w From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
JA09 o( Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
gySl.cxt selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
i~"lcgoO vd9PB N I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
RF[Uy?es cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
A'aY H`j more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
ntxa
FVD Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
X=@bzL;eq Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
M 4E|^p=5 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
K%.t%)A_3 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
MK.TBv methods.

3!op'X! can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
Y41b8.|P+ foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
$9@3dM*E?Z listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
Y)68 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
\E1CQP- dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
d(YAH@ never undermines the content.

SveP:uJA[ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
