 "Our titles are always cryptic references which the listener might understand or might not. Some of them are personal, so the  listener is unlikely to know what it refers to. Music Has the Right to Children is a statement of our intention to affect the audience using sound. [[The Color Of The Fire]] was a reference to a friend's psychedelic experience. [[Kaini Industries]] is a company that was set up in Canada ( by coincidence in the month Mike was born), to create employment for a settlement of Cree Indians. [[Olson]] is the surname of a family we know, and [[Smokes Quantity]] is the nickname of a friend of ours."
