From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka o0`']-)*2  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum l%_K

selling Songs from the Deep Forest . \h=*pAf

I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical /.7RWy`  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather aBReIK o  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish EB!ne)X  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why e&ysj:W5 "  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes $k0(iFzR1  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the LJ <pE;`d  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious [A =0fg5  
methods. IXtG 36O

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave Wrb[\ ?-  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and ds!nl1  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the ZAfuW^r  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the LXX('d  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
(4 ZeyG@  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that Jfr'OD2$ %  
never undermines the content. (K=0c6M3=

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his x
P'0a  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton 8%B_nVc  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang BkB_?^Nv8  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much r]cq|Nv8:  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off k@lJ8(i^qU  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of G3TS?u8Q  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. gq+0t

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is K!CVS7  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the TfZM0Wz  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With 3_ J'+  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure qc,EazmU  
(that'll be the title track, then). YQ:$m5ai
