From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka Pp5^@A  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum xagBORg+Bd  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . <(-hx+^  
Kc^;vT>3  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical I'0@viF"Nx  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather GF^071]G  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish G"XV n~]  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why bAm(8nT7w  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes x3"# POp  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the M )2`+/4  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious <z!CDg4  
methods. =Fr(9(

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave KPj\-g'A  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and Z7?~S
2{c  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the C-H@8p?T  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the V:c;-)(  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing #: [<iSk  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that OU Nd@o  
never undermines the content. -B$2\ZE

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his wLOB}ZMT  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton eF3,2DDC  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang }=]M2 }  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much 2P@sn!*{1  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off ^kB8F"X  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of I\$X/t +dH  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. A*/HjTX

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is ry`z(f  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the ]33>m|?@  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With |=
'z{WS  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure m~-K[+ya`D  
(that'll be the title track, then). @3C>BLI8+
