From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka 3r{3HaN(^'  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum RmF,x9  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . ~s.~ X5  
l=EnK"aU  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical wOW#A}m'vj  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather GyU9,>|~T  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish r6 k/QZT  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why f3,qDbQyJ  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes m\9R;$\  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the zNAID-5K;  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious m9yi:zT%  
methods. zKRt\;PW  
6"3-8orj  
Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave ;<=Z\NX  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and R/!lDv!  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the T@K= *p  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the N, `q1
B  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing \X3Q,\H @  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that tX'`4!{@+  
never undermines the content. a1^CpeG~

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his Ej_>*^b  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton G6W_)YL  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang n6AN  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much O}#Ic$38  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off Zv[D{  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of Y.}"<{RQ  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. Q{+*F8%8V<

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is 1omjP`]|,  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the TJYup%q  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With @= E~`  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure Iax-~{B3AY  
(that'll be the title track, then). r4YiXss
