Low Entropy's first full-length Slowcore album - with a runtime of 70 minutes! "Doors To The Pleasures" is a correctly chosen title - the underlying theme here are trips to light and euphoric pleasures, but also journey's into dark ecstasy and twisted emotions, plus surreal and bizarre excursions; and, most of the time, all of this and more thrown together.
Stylistically, we have eight Slowcore tracks here, often alternating between "calm" Techno beats and rhythms, and relentless distortion and noise.
There is Low Entropy's typical Doomed atmosphere and concept, but this time, more than usually, an influence of Dark and Space Ambient genres - and movie-soundtrack-like ideas.
And we can't deny another influence of Oldschool Gabber - and 90s Ravecore.
A haunting and exhausting experience.
Doors to the pleasures - or to the worst nightmares? It's up to you!
