from the official Miles site: "A rather strange requiem for the recently deceased Duke Ellington, “He Loved Him Madly” was improvised on a base of muted drums and radicalized the pastoral atmosphere of In A Silent Way. Even more than in On The
Corner, Miles announced the future possibilities of ambient and electro-jazz."
