0@EI@X;q Yb[)ETf^ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
yO
XEP Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
3KkJQ5a selling Songs from the Deep Forest .

o I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
hM="9]i. cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
*g:Dg I 2 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
9ku|w#%I Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
*] >R Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
3Y +;8ld Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
6-5{7E}/b music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
N693eN! methods.

m?4HVv can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
BPOT!- foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
dEX67rUj; listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
Ar_Yl|a course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
?a?4;Y! dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that

T^ 0juP"v$C> So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
uFvR(LDb&g a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
