S\K;h/;V ik)T>rYg0 From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
xGTVC=q Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
=.O8G=;DOA selling Songs from the Deep Forest .

D -iWt~ I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
&
p=Uus cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
__M(dN(^ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
u8L%R[#o Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
v,bCj6 Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
_wMx KM Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
:Z)a&A9v music is several steps above even Special's fastidious

d [K71 S&(MR%". Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
&w15GO;4 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
6L5j foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
EHI%QT listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
v *'anw&Z course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
0F48T<i dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
mQL8ec_c never undermines the content.
P;~`%,+S .M(')$\U Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
Y7*8 A, appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
c_V^~hq Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
{L6@d1u Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
,s ` y to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
tL#~U2K by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
"Yp:{e Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
)NF5,eD }xx" So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
1s-dqHz"s a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
Ga<Uvr%+ found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
hw5NHZ I' a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
nu(;yIRP (that'll be the title track, then).
