"wL~E Si zOYkkQE3mJ 专辑介绍:
`%;nHQ" iKv`[k From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
fHvQ 9*T Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
jENarB^As selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
wpu]{~Y B[ae<V0k I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
u
dtsq"U_% cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
SdC505m0* more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
RtH[OZu(8 Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
C&D]!ZvF Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
d=WC1" Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
?15k~1nA music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
eHK}U+"\ methods.
T'i9_V{ XOa<R Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
+P|$T:b can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
z/ T| foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
*7oPM5J|v listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
g*t.g@B<2 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
p`gg dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
hDmtBdE never undermines the content.
mhJ>5z 9UOx~Ty Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
Oz^+;P1 appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
OTtSMO
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
iJ42` 51 Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
/r@P\_ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
QC~B8 ] by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
YV-2es+Bd Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
:*tv`:;p [#j|TBMHM So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
*-Lnsi^7v a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
9L%&4V}BIS found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
@l"GfDfL9 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
F"hi2@/TI (that'll be the title track, then).
