From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka "sX[p  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum ~|aeKtCs(.  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . pO-s@"j]  
1+16i=BF)  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical nJ'>#9~a'>  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather '- nuH;r  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish @w#gRQCl  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why Z3X&<Y5  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes J^s<x#C  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the U&Sbm~Qi  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious t9f4P^V`  
methods. 07T;IV3#C5

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave ig.6 [5a\  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and .qb_/#Bas  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the 2d>d(^  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the }(g+:]p-  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing (8@hF#N1  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that Il&"=LooZ  
never undermines the content. 9(N)MT5F

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his O=#/DM;  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton +EiUAs~H  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang yqVaA 'w5  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much ku[=QsMv  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off d_WnK{  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of #*>7X>,J  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. Ng_rb KXC#

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is C5s N[  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the [Tb3z:UUvf  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With h@>rjeY@  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure a9@l8{)RX  
(that'll be the title track, then). &PQ{e8w
