1) Mesh are a synthpop/ebm group, hailing from Bristol, England, UK consisting of Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn. Neil Taylor was in Mesh from their conception in 1993 until 2005. Their music is described by their official website as “somewhere between synthpop and EBM”. Mesh were discovered largely as a result of Future Music releasing their first three demo songs on a compilation. Holding a large amount of distaste for major label business, the trio chose to form their own label titled Tolerance Records, which released their first EP “Fragile” in 1993. Soon after circulation, the band signed to Memento Materia and re-released the EP. Mesh followed “Fragile” with the album “In This Place Forever”, which included the popular single “You Didn’t Want Me.” 1999 saw the release of “The Point At Which It Falls Apart”, which the official bio cites as “certainly the best work that the band had produced to date. It is a rich and emotional album, and shows the threesome taking their music to a new level.” In 2000, Mesh signed distribution agreements with Metropolis Records in order to pursue US appeal, an arrangement which ultimately fizzled out. In 2002 the band switched labels yet again to release “Who Watches Over Me?” on Columbia (a Sony subsidiary). In 2006 Mesh signed to the German label Königskinder after leaving Columbia. To date neither “Who Watches Over Me?” or “We Collide” have been released on an American label. In April 2006, the album “We Collide” was released in Europe to generally positive reviews and good chart positions in Germany. In 2007 the band released the DVD “The World’s a Big Place”, with live performances and interviews from their “We Collide” Tour. 2) Mesh is a Dutch progressive-trance artist, real name Jack Molenschot who records for “In Trance We Trust”, a sub-label of the Tiesto-owned Black Hole Recordings. Jack Molenschot also records using the names of Freejack and Future Vibe. 3) Mesh was a Swiss postpunk band in existence from 1981 -1992. They released one album called “Claustrophobia LP,” and several tapes releases during their career. 4) Mesh is a New York based graffiti artist and electro, electronic dance rock band which has tracks available at http://www.last.fm/label/MESH. |
