From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka tDEXm^B2Sv  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum EW ~*@H  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . ;:AG2z
E!  
)\um"l*\c  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical ,D:iQDG^  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather jAA'hA  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish tU9rCL:P  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why ^
:qpa5^"  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes dK:l&R  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the JCM)N8~i  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious -;sJ25(  
methods. QV`X?m

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave ;[?J5X,  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and 7'-)/Pk  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the 9c"0~7v  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the zzulVj*  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing d [\>'>  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that #cw! &  
never undermines the content. 2AdX)iF@

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his 7yY1
dR<Y  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton ^AovkK(p  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Wwn5LlJ^  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much j zxf"X-  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off ?3]h~(=  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of *D,v>(  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. wo,""=l  
e1f^:C  
So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is V/ QTYy1  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the tEi@p;Z>  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With eLHa9R{)B  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure =2ATqb"$w  
(that'll be the title track, then). X}65\6
