From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka vvF]g.,  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum U3|9a8^H  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . VJgYXPE `  
c.}#.-b8  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical qb+Gjgp  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather r?HbApV P  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish Dq`$3ZeA  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why T}K@ykT  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes %nyZ=&u  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the i)7B :uA  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious 9z7rv,  
methods. 5?8jj

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave a$$aM2.2  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and Jn"ya^~  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the K1zH\wH  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the vo^2k13  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing N$M:&m3^  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that S.!K  
never undermines the content. 8JU{]Z!G<;

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his WMnxN34  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton 6yd?xeD  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang 4VHX4A}CgA  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much v;d3uunqv  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off na_Wp^;  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of Gp2Cwyv  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. .7> g8

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is lf_q6y  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the 8}?w%FsN#  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With `_(N(dm  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure '}E"Mdb  
(that'll be the title track, then). ;$FMOMR
