From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka *c{X\!YBh  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum xp;CYr"1}  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . @/ G$ C9<  
T/Fj0'  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical :I/i"g7<  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather JR^#NefJ  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish R0DWjN$j  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why #a|.cm>6  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes aA3KJa  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the J0V\_ja-  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious Yj#4{2A  
methods. w$j!89@)

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave 6>R|B?I%  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and |xX>AMZc)D  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the %9Y3jB",2  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the qOi"3_  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing | l
|7[  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that @?YO_</  
never undermines the content. <V_P)b8$1

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his dub%fs  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton q{E44 eQ7F  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang .]D7Il  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much <-rw>,  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off @kmOz(  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of uFl19  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. ~&\}qz3

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is .{ +Obi  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the  tQSJ"Q  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With j$ h>CZZ  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure .m/$ku{/J  
(that'll be the title track, then). Tc.k0n%W:b
