I didn't know about Icehenge until I saw it on my local used bookstore's shelves. I had already read and reread the Mars Trilogy, and also the follow-up collection of short pieces ('The Martians', right?). After consuming all of them, I feel like 'The Martians' is a collection of b-sides that the producer was probably right not to include in a group's bestselling record, while 'Icehenge' is like a rare live recording of the band at the local club before they got so huge...the same ideas, but deployed with energy, recklessness, skill, and a lot of heart.
