From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka c_u7O \  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum 2RdpVNx\y  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . _TyQC1 d  
Lr Kx  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical _zLEHEZ-  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather Q;@w\_OR  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish )5TX3#=;(G  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why xRF_'|e  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes `KE(R8y  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the VKi3z%kwK  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious gIcPKj"8${  
methods. 5 hB2:$C

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave =II E]<z  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and \)PS&Y8n  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the SHCVjI6  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the GF
Rd:e  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing wSs78c=  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that =`%%

never undermines the content. *Xd_=@L&B

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his Eb9M;u  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton k4nA+k<WI`  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang K#{E87
G(  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much Sq==)$G  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off Cj):g,[a  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of V1;Qt-i  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. L=}U

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is jIc;jjAF  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the qkUr5^1  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With @#H{nj Z  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure |_2ANWHz  
(that'll be the title track, then). ,em6wIq,
