^,iUn /vwGSuk._ 专辑介绍:
T[~ak"M T1\.~]-msb From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
adHHnH`, Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
.ye5;A} selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
gy_n=jhi+ /$/\$f$ I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
LtXFGPQ f cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
^A;v|U more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
|!flR? OU Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
11%^K=dq Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
Cf@WjgR
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the

57%:

7f~.Qus h8$lDFo Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
rP^2MH" can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
&NB[:S= foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
W5HC7o\4 listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
'!b1~+PV course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing

- dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
dHg[0Br)r never undermines the content.

,e3r Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
s@K|zOx appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
O
qHD=D[ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
-]A,SBs Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
bt-y6,> +E to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
'HH[[9Q by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
g(
)YP Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
"b|qyT* Sl doW_vu So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
