Hills too have caught the scientists' eyes. The far smaller Sojourner rover that landed on Mars in 1997 never moved more than 39 ft. from its home base. But Spirit is built to roam, and its cameras have spotted some inviting, 300-ft.-high mounds nearly 1.25 miles (2 km) away. The robot was designed to travel only about half that distance, but there's nothing to say it can't exceed expectations.

This mingling of experimentation and accessibility is the secret of the album’s effectiveness. The casual listener smiling at the sugary harmonies of “Sea Ghost” or nodding along to the galloping “I Was Born (A Unicorn)” will only later come to appreciate the songs’ structural intricacies...
