专辑介绍:
$;Nw_S@
d+iV19 #i From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
&~MM\,KML Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
SbX#$; ks~ selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
8_h:_7e 6jpfo'uB$ I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
}u&,;] cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
OY'6 ~w9 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
pY"&=I79tb Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
mgL{t"$c Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
\1[v-hvK Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
_WB*ArR music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
yGZsPQIaV methods.
zLS=>iLD{ y-R:-K XH= Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
~H\1dCW can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
$QC^hC foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
hutdw> listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
5
cz6\A& course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
AiOz1Er
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
r3mQoTvnv never undermines the content.

Pu Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
Z
rm!,qs appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
O}cg1Q8p Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
m~
U2L Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
,.PW
qfb to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
XJ9bY\>)q1 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
{nyVC%@Y Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.

^" So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
`Q~`Eq?@ a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
BR[f{)
a5 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
6D n[9V a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
i~04 P (that'll be the title track, then).
