B% 专辑介绍:
5),&{k! m|Sf'5fK From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
EF'8-* Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
Y)D F.ca( selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
\4>& zb4 >.-4CJ])d I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
A+(
+
PfU cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
5aNvGI1 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
g-4ab|F
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
'l_F@ZO{( Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
12tk$FcY8* Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
$4hi D;n music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
Cng_*\=O methods.
bZpx61h| 8L5O5F' Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
gObafIA can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
K|=va> foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
3!`
_Q% listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
~
U5Tn3'~ course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
8\p"V.o> dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
!\cVe;<r never undermines the content.
MhIHfW]b 3rX40>Cs8 Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
X2'XbG3 appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
S" (Nf+ux Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
v7,- Q* Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
>96+s)T%; to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
l[[^]__ by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
X6xs@tgQ Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
zF(abQ0 |?TX^) So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
t+D= @"BZP a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
(S2E'L L{ found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
h=^UMat- a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
|-z"6F r- (that'll be the title track, then).
