Details Sketchy is an EP by Dessau, released on September 19, 1995, by Fifth Colvmn Records. [3] [4] The album was Fifth Colvmn' fastest seller despite composer John Elliott being underwhelmed by the finished recordings. [5]
The EP Details Sketchy revealed the band adopting more of a heavy metal-style in comparison to their dance oriented back catalogue. [6] The track "The Sun" appeared on two various artists compilations, 1995's Forced Cranial Removal by Fifth Colvmn Records and 2009's Resurrection 3 by WTII Records. [7] [8]
Fabryka Music Magazine gave Details Sketchy two out of four stars and said "there are several rock songs in the cloud of samples ad loops but such a fusion doesn't impress because either of the ideas or the dynamics." [9] Black Monday called the EP "nothing memorable" and noted that its "being "pushed" on the laurels of guest performances by members of Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Nine In Nails, Filter and Die Warzau. [10] Sonic Boom said "the music itself is kind of a light-hearted dance festival with catchy lyrics with the occasional guitar chord thrown in for good measure" and compared it favorably to Filter's or Revolting Cocks' lighter material.
