|V<h=D5W 035rPT7-2- 专辑介绍:
<.Nx[!'~&d G:zua`u[ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
Me
5_4H&Sg Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
76u&EG% selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
`uC@nJ ],P;WPU I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
?O>V%@ cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
<=f}8a.R3 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
9K9DF1SOa Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
=i~}84> Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
a'z) Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
+nJUFc music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
lo[.&GD methods.
foQ#a 6`f2-f9%iq Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
>nzdnF_&zW can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
,yd?gP-O foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
E9~Ghx. listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
lT(oL|{#P course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
;3'.C~ dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
8MSC.0 never undermines the content.
-wjN"g< F&&$Qn_+ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
br|;'i%( appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
H,b5C_D29 Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
@|\}.M<e*) Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
=
jN*P? to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
}Hn/I,/ by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
O }
f80K Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
^MVkZ{gtre 9/nn)soC3 So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
0:+WO%z a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
y- 1 pR found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
Hla0 5N' 4 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
t+eVR8 (that'll be the title track, then).
