I'll be honest, and say I really didn't anticipate it throwing quite such a flanker, but this really has turned out to be a top-notch example of how to make a melting-pot of different elements work coherently, and finish it off with the meticulous polish and slickness typical of many Swedish projects. Sure, it's not exactly new ground, and, sure, I can find the occasional miss-step that doesn't quite work to the same standard, but those fleeting imperfections are in no way a barrier to 'An Empty Frame' deserving a thorough recommendation - it's earned its higher-profile label backing, and I hope it'll get the recognition that deserves."
