DEPECHE MODE



Depeche Mode are an electronic music band formed in 1980, in Basildon, Essex, England. The group's original line-up was Dave Gahan (lead vocals), Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Andrew Fletcher (keyboards) and Vince Clarke (keyboards). Vince Clarke left the band after the release of their 1981 debut album, and was replaced by Alan Wilder (lead keyboards) who was a band member from 1982 to 1995. Following Wilder's departure, Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher have continued as a trio.

Depeche Mode are one of the longest-lived, most successful and influential bands to have emerged from the New Romantic and New Wave era. They have had forty-five songs in the UK Singles Chart, as well as one US and two UK Number 1 albums. According to their record company, Depeche Mode have sold over 72 million records worldwide.

Their best known albums are: Speak & Spell (1981), Construction Time Again (1983), Black Celebration (1986), Violator (1990), Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993) and Playing the Angel (2005).

NEXT STOP: MARS


People have been walking on the surface of Mars for more than a century, in fantasy. Now, however, the possibility is so real that many people think that the question is not whether humans will go to Mars, but when they will go, how they will get there and who will go first.

Although there is a growing agreement that reaching Mars will be some kind of multinational effort, a prosperous nation, like the United States, seems capable of such an achievement by itself. For the US it is a political priority. The cost of the project has been estimated at 6 billion dollars, about double the price of the Apollo Moon project.

Of all the other planets in the solar system, Mars is the most like Earth. With about half the Earth's diameter, with one third of the gravity and only one percent of the atmosphere, space vehicles have found that Mars hides an important amount of water under its surface and in its frozen poles. While Venus is closer, with an average temperature of about 850 degrees, it is hostile.

From the presence of water and a relatively moderate climate comes another powerful attraction. The fascination with Mars centres around the issue of life. Mars is key to answering that critical question:

Is there life somewhere other than the Earth?


Answer the questions:

1. Is reaching Mars only a scientific challenge? Why?

2. What is the most interesting reason for exploring Mars?


True or False?:

1. Mankind has actually set foot on Mars.

2. Reaching Mars can cost as much as reaching the moon.

3. Mars is the same size as the Earth.

4. Venus's climate is gentle.
