Gi]Pwo${ 9g J`H' 专辑介绍:
|g> K$m^ g[-'0d\1 From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
SWO$#X / Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
,":ADO- selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
eXnMS!g%Z M <"&$qZ$R I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
Eo)Q> AM cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
j
?/T7a^ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
W)<us?5Ec5 Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
t LS5yT/ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
}_3<Q\j Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
JmWN/mx music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
-}9ZZ#K methods.
"J, ErnM H~J#!3 Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
qW][Q%'lt can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
#]:yCiA foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
U|uvSJ)X listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
_4owxYSDke course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
<2diO= dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
%1@+pf/ never undermines the content.
6~&4>2b0f `WC~cb\ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
D"bLJj/! appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
DWHl,w;[z` Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
ZR6KE_ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
+x-n,!( to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
477jS6 ^e& by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
Ts|&_| Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
B:&/*HU H;G*tje/M So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
]|Vm*zO a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
Ca*^U- found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
%z`bu2 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
HMS9_#[kE (that'll be the title track, then).
