'- Great - an opportunity to exorcise some old demons and much loved songs....' Martyn Bates

'.... the title 'ORANGE ICE AND WAX CRAYONS' was chosen 'cause it conjures up that sense of play and experimentation, kind of like the 'innocence of the child' idea - that was exactly the kind of spirit with which we entered into the initial idea of EYELESS IN GAZA, way back when....' MB'[discogs]
