From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka Q)`3&b  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum QYl Pr&O9  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . 2VB|a;Mo  
^g^R[8  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical "gau
rr3  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather k
&TZ   
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish q6R``  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why >ucVrLm,X  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes 'E _M,Y  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the v2Lx4:dzi  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious l~_]k  
methods. SQ$|s%)oB

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave d2cslDd  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and Kyn[4Bu!?  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the F@4TD]E0^  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the ^tp6G  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing (T

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his S}mZU!  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton h!@ t8R  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang GPyr;FV!s  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much K'/,VALp  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off c~, OU7[  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of %8U/ !(.g  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. aXOW +$,

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is JI"&3H")g%  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the c%?31t  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With hU: 9zLe  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure `=}w(V8pc  
(that'll be the title track, then). )uG7 DR
