WN$R[N 专辑介绍:
6k:y$,w KS
b(R/T From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
lxo.,n) Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
kJI3`gS+ selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
|3 ;u"&(P ,GP!fsK I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
`b#/[3 cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
nrF%w
H/5 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
8n;kK? Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
ZyHIMo| Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
wu;7NatHx Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
j \!
~9 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
#D=
tX methods.
A
*a{ ?UxG/]", Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
)\um"l*\c can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
$eK8GMxZ# foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
HT{F$27W listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
r$b:1 C~ course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
~+nS)4( dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
3{ .9O$ never undermines the content.
;e&hM\p ph Wc8[Q Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
R=2
gtW"r appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
;yRwoTc)Y Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
k$9Gn9L% Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
d/0/$Bz}P to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
C! aX45eg by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
*T.={>HE8 Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
:d!i[W* Ktg&G<%J0 So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
9Q
SUCN_ a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
iqU.a/~y found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
K1m!S9d`x a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
"Qiq/"h (that'll be the title track, then).
