With their sophomore full-length ‘The Point at Which It Falls Apart’ that was released in 1999, British dark Synth Pop act MESH achieved a breakthrough both artistically and in critical acclaim as well as commercially. In the year of the 25th anniversary of the album, MESH reissue this long out of print milestone in a beautiful artbook edition packed with bonus materials.
MESH had been conceived in 1991 when lead singer and guitarist Mark Hockings and keyboardist and vocalist Richard Silverthorn found friendship and mutual common ground, leading to the formation of the band. This musical partnership has ever since defined MESH's enduring legacy.
The duo was soon joined by Neil Taylor on keyboards, who had already been playing in another band with Silverthorn. MESH’s creative synergy emerged from a complementary distribution of roles: Richard Silverthorn composed the music, while Mark Hockings penned evocative and profound lyrics, infusing depth and emotion into their soundscapes.
MESH’s musical journey commenced with the release of the ‘Fragile’ EP in 1994 and the full-length debut ‘In this Place Forever’ two years later in 1996. In 1999 came the next grand milestone with the sophomore album ‘The Point At Which It Falls Apart’. Collaborations with producers such as Mark Oh, showcased the band's diverse musical inclinations.
The major label release of ‘Who Watches over Me’ in 2002, propelled MESH further into the limelight and marked a turning point. A surge of popularity across Europe, particularly in Germany let the UK band climb higher up the festival billings. Their collaboration with former Depeche Mode producer Gareth Jones for ‘We Collide’ (2006) solidified their status in the electronic music realm.
Adapting to lineup changes, MESH continued their musical journey with the core-duo, augmenting live performances with drummer Sean Suleman and additional live keyboardists. The band strengthened their global presence, particularly expanding in the Americas.
‘Automation Baby’ (2013) reached #33 on the German album charts and generally dominated European Alternative Charts. With ‘Looking Skyward’ (2016), MESH climbed to even greater heights with a #12 position on the German charts. Demonstrating artistic versatility, MESH collaborated with a classical orchestra at the “Gothic meets Klassik” festival in 2015. The band continued their musical evolution, and welcomed Vaughn George to their live line-up in April 2023.
Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn are currently in the process of writing the next MESH studio album. To shorten the eager wait for old and new fans alike, the duo is making their longtime sold out and much sought-after second album ‘The Point at Which It Falls Apart’ available again in a diligently remastered version.
