L[j73z' 9 rMP"td 专辑介绍:
<[oPh(!V u%s@B1j From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
E7CeE6U Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
(V06cb*42[ selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
2 &(w\#' ]N& Y25oT5 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
5n1aRA1 cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
ask76
e more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
qH8d3?1XO Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
TwaK>t96[ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
ZaZm$.s n Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
_MI8P/ music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
46(=*iT&V methods.
4Y>J,c _Yms]QEZ Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
}+m")=1{ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
R.Uwf foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
2~wIHtd listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
3jh:
K course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
;1^([>| dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
O} &%R: never undermines the content.
eM) I% )tD[Ffvr Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
c1wP/?|.> appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
FG6bKvEQm^ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
wuV*!oef o Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
MB"TwtW to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
y$Y*%D^w by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
ov9+6'zya Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
"R!)"B== 'f
"KV| So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
!EuqJjh a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
e -yL found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
e Lj1 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
f~rq)2V: (that'll be the title track, then).
