"The rain outside made the roads run like the mucky streams of Iowa. I know this because like all "native Californians", I'm really from Iowa. I ran down to L.A. during the dustbowl and never had the heart to go home; the L.A. nights where crime and sex are hot on the wind were too much for a country boy like me to leave. Not tonight though. Tonight it was all muck, and not just because of the rain. It all started back when I first met a man by the name of Sugar Smallhouse..."

The use of the echo device was, of course, for the soundtrack of the film. I've never heard Miles use that effect on any of his other "cool jazz" LPs. It really does work very well here, with his use of no vibrato.
