j(Tt-a("z pVTx#rY 专辑介绍:
;
\yVwur gie}k)&M From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
X9^a:7( Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
W (N@`^ selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
ZJz6{cY
x%kS:! I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
AhOvI{ cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
rSU%!E+|< more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
;qT~81 Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
KD]8n]c Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
%a-:f)@ Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
Jq1 Zb music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
!QoOL<(){ methods.
S?.2V@Ic !Kv.v7'N/k Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
yQ)y#5/<6 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
wTBp=)1)f foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
q7-Eu4w listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
u
Q4WM course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
Z2d,J>- dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
$_,?SXM never undermines the content.
SdF*"]t so h3d Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
Fxwe, appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
p;av63i Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
`PI,tmv! Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
WZ}c)r*R to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
"qEHK; by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
SJhcm
x+ Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
M%H
<F3
uZ mi So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
J
wR]! a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
Q8.SD p found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
Q5'DV!0aSv a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
6AgevyVG (that'll be the title track, then).
