1=~ ##/at #,!/Cnqis From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
sE^=]N Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
3Ea/)EB] selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
BG]|iHi K2tOt7M! I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
|4` ;G(ta cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
=feVT2* more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
,pdf$)
XB Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
Z[\nyj Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
),-MrL8c% Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
1ZWr@,\L music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
:ee'|c methods.
E1qf N>0Z ~(^?M Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
VlxHZ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
edlsS}8^ foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
'puiahA listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
.bRDz:?j course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
bHzH0v]: dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
N_VWA.JHt never undermines the content.
@4]dv> Z #/hXcF Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
88
DMD"$B appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
gy5R"_ M U Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
-TNb=2en( Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
[>:9#n to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off

,sp( (SF]1 Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
qa?0GTAS V24FzQ?z:. So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
.V l a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
<bh!wf6; found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
w?R#ly a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
nYnv.5 (that'll be the title track, then).
