From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka iEVb"w059  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum w k(VR  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . J`peX0Stl  
`YFtL  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical 5L+>ewl  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather j~2 {lCT  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish [.O?Z=5a[V  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why s1MErd  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes aGrIQq/k)%  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the p#ol*m5wE  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious hv`~?n)D66  
methods. <":;+Ng+

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave  AsQ)q  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and y~B h  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the `n#H5Oyn  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the X\`_3=  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing X^T:8npxt  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that M`. tf_x  
never undermines the content. [=" e ziM{

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his t
a35 K"  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton OglEt["  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang X>d"]GD  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much `e(c^z#  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off H;?{BV  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of )LdP5z-  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. 6 )Hwt

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is #Vl 0.l3
