<+sv7"a #(bMZ!/( 专辑介绍:
`6lc] r #i.M-6SRd From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
t
7;V`[ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
7u\^$25+h selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
ZxbWgM5rm v8
gg
PI I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
b V;R}3) cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
im%'S6_X4 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
?KI_>{ Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
F7# Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
bPOehvK/ Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
-`iZBC50 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
5 ah]E methods.
o*I=6`j 2HkP$;lED Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
mWUQF"q8 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
yWFDGk foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
cL< listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
lkFv5^% course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
5cgDHs dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
%{&yXi:mS never undermines the content.

Gi \ tF>< Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
rMfp%DMA appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
Mh[;E'C6 Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
LJfd{R1y+ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
{Z1j>h$ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
ui YZk3 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
q*
?LXKi Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
/u*((AJ?Qv ggJn oL So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
O|?>rK a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
jUI'F4.5x- found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
vUvIZa a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
aJOhji<b#L (that'll be the title track, then).
