From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka "&+3#D >  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum QG gF|c7  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . 5"KlRuv%  
O6s.<`\  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical )xU-;z0"~  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather 2-+f1,  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish KW3+luI6  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why s][24)99  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes k ]a*&me  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the ib6^x:HGU  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious u{H?4|'(  
methods. d9^E.8p$  
:Ixx<9c.  
Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave W&Y"K)`  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and ?9+@+q  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the 'I}:!Z  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the <c N~jv-w$  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing S56]?M|[  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that F"+o@9]  
never undermines the content. =qVP] 9

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his [IZM.r`Z  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton q<vf,D@{ !  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang h!@,8y[B  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much k3!a$0Bs;  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off &n2e  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of sUkm|K`#  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. I5ss0JSl/  
-;(Q1)&  
So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is }CL"S_>1  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the gwkb!#A  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With ^y.nDs%ZT7  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure )>\}~s  
(that'll be the title track, then). .\Fss(Zn
