With their sophomore full-length "The Point at Which It Falls Apart" that was released in 1999, British dark synthpop 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. Their musical partnership has ever since defined MESH's enduring legacy. 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. The major label release of "Who Watches over Me" in 2002 propelled MESH further into the limelight and marked another turning point. A surge of popularity across Europe, particularly in Germany, let the UK band climb higher up the festival billings. "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. 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.
