Art of Noise - Ode to Don Jose

From the 1987 album In No Sense? Nonsense, composed by Dudley/Jeczalik. Gorgeous track.

For anyone who was as confused as I was, Don Jose is a character from Bizet's Carmen: "José is ill-suited to Carmen's whims, expecting fidelity; unlike the other males in the opera who perceive her as available to them. He dreams that he can possess and redeem her.[25] Don José's descent and moral disintegration from simple and honourable soldier to a murderous brigand is plotted by librettists and composer "from connivance at Carmen's escape, through desertion, armed resistance to an officer and smuggling, to murder"" (Wikipedia)

@MrDischargeandi Funny, I'm the same age and I had this tape and would play it in a boombox outside. i only now realize how atypical it was for a kid my age at the time. I just loved the music, still do.
