CRITIC REVIEWS

80
AllMusic

While more accessible than most of his previous work, the three pieces here are just as tormented, in particular the septic relentlessness of the 18-minute title track.

Pitchfork

Some 15 years on from his first Prurient album, it is thrilling to still hear the vigor in his searching; in his questioning of restrictions and extending of freedoms.

Tiny Mix Tapes

It’s an accomplished one, and Fernow sometimes impressively commands the stylistic cues of the electronic musics he’s discovering.

FACT Magazine

There’ll always be room for expertly produced, noisy techno, and Through the Window is an example of the sound done to perfection – caustic, haunting and, despite everyone’s best intentions, almost fun.

Prurient changes the style a bit with this album and introduces some techno into the discography. Like most/all of Prurient's other works the tracks have a very dark and unsettling feel to them but as for compositional quality goes this could very well be prurient's finest work.

prurient goes in a bit of a different direction here with less of a focus on noise as in many of his other works. "you show great spirit" remains one of his best tracks.
