v 专辑介绍:
=$`DBLX B|GJboQ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
:&or'Yi} Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
RXWjFv~/ selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
f1~3y}7^Jq m1[QD26 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
'Ux_X:,:; cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
nO|S+S_9 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
wyc,Ir Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
o"]eAQ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
}zobIfIF Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
mJsYY,b8 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
-91l"sI methods.
NqwVsVL {R/C0-Q^^ Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
h" H2z1$ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
)lJao foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
Fg Lrb# listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
iCHt1VV] course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
bzdb|I6Z dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
XUuu-wm:} never undermines the content.

O4gg rQ=,y>-* Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
0%)i<a!_Z appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
O5H9Y}i] Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
F @Te@n Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
T97]P-}
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
&K/FyY5 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
a,78l@d( Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
3pmWDG6L 1Z{ZV.! So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
IF]lHB a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
g#]wLm# found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
Tr^nkD{ a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
(|wz7AY2 (that'll be the title track, then).
