        3 out of 5 stars Not a classic by any means.......2005-10-19

        Walk into light is technically Ian Anderson's first solo LP.
        "A" was actually his first and later became a Jethro Tull recording.
        Walk into Light shows Anderson in what I call his "Synthesizer era." Anderson at the time was looking for another direction that he had started with "Under Wraps".
        At that time I guess he had tired of acoustic music and mandolins and was trying to re-invent himself.
        The good news is that "Fly by Night" is probably among my all-time favorite songs by Ian Anderson, which would include the Jethro Tull catalog. Fly by night alone to me would justify buying the CD. Trains is another song of note. He talks about how he spends his life on trains.
        Made in England is a worthy effort as well, but with each song the album becomes progressively boring. Dont compare this recording to a Jethro Tul recording, take it at face value and maybe you wont be as disappointed as I was. Over the years some of the songs have grown on me though.
        This CD would be for Tull/Anderson collectors.
        I an not saying dont get it, but I am not recommending it either.

        5 out of 5 stars "Dance on a printed circuit board".......2004-08-16

        In his first solo album, Ian Anderson set out to make something different from the acoustic guitar/flute music he is known for. He went into the studio with Peter-John Vettese, a young, innovative keyboardist who worked on Jethro Tull's previous album Broadsword and the Beast and Tull's next album Under Wraps. He had no outtakes from previous Tull recordings with which to work. Everything on this album was written from scratch (Vettese co-wrote half the songs). The result was a very electronic album and, clocking in at under 40 minutes, a very quick yet interesting trip through one man's imagination in the emerging computer age. It is even more experimental than what Tull was doing at the time because, alas, Martin Barre does not appear on the album and even Anderson's characteristic flute only emerges occasionally. Think a softer "A" (which was originally meant to be Anderson's first solo project; the "A" standing for "Anderson") and Under Wraps completely dominated by synthesizers. I enjoy the overall sound of this album, but, then again, I am also a big fan of Tull's experimental years of the early 1980s. Under Wraps is one of my all-time favorite albums, and Walk Into Light resembles that album more than any other Tull record. It does not have the same variety of sound as Under Wraps, but each track can stand alone very well though, for the most part, they all have a similar feel. One stand-out track is "Made in England." I find myself humming along. It is excellent with interesting lyrics: "Watches the democratic process grind its way through the Commons who would pave the streets with England's gold." "Fly By Night," the haunting "Black & White Television" and "Toad in the Hole" are also very catchy. "User-Friendly" reminds me of "Dot Com" from Tull's 1999 release of the same name; both using buzzwords of the day showing that Anderson definitely keeps up with the times. "Different Germany" is interesting both lyrically and musically. I wonder if a specific experience prompted Anderson to write "Different Germany, history repeats somehow. Different Germany, afraid to know you now" (written, of course, before the wall came down). At one point, Vettese kicks in with a progressive keyboard part that wakes up the listener. If you do not like Tull's A--Under Wraps material...I recommend listening to them again because those albums are awesome. But, if you know you will never like electronic experimental Tull, you will probably not like Walk Into Light. Fans of early 1980s Tull and/or electronic music, will enjoy Anderson's first, and for the most part forgotten, solo project.

        3 out of 5 stars Ian goes techno...kinda sorta.......2003-11-25

        The classic "Give me Aqualung or Death" Tull fans usually savage this disc...and with some understanding. Walk Into Light is very different, primarily because of the heavy contributions of Peter-John Vetesse's keyboards to Ian's voice and flute. That said, lyrically, this disc contains some very personal, literate comments and observations. It's an intelligent album. This was a worthy experiment that midwifed to the Techno-Tull album Under Wraps, another experiment which when combined with Martin Barre and David Pegg rocked out in a couple places. Not for everyone and not for me all the time, but it is a testament to Ian Anderson's abilities that he pulled off something so stunningly different.

        5 out of 5 stars Walk Into Light ~ by Ian Anderson.......2003-09-06

        When this solo album was first released in LP format around 1983-84, I played it more than any other Tull album that came out around the same time. So what if Peter-John Vettese contributed with synthesizers, piano and whatever else? I loved the album and still do.

        Rather than start with a list of songs on here that I think stand out, let me say that on every Tull or Ian Anderson solo album there has always been one and ONLY one clunker that I don't like. "Trains" gets the gate here. Delete. It's just too repetitious and doesn't have much of a melody.

        Other than that, I love every song on here especially "Looking For Eden," one of my favorite songs ever. On my own home made Best of Tull CD's, Vol. I and II, I added it and "Made In England" as well from the 33 songs I included. Another haunting but beautiful number included here is "Different Germany."

        I've read that Ian Anderson has said that perhaps this wasn't what a solo album should be. True. "The Secret Language Of Birds" and "Rupi's Dance" are more in keeping with Ian's use of flute, acoustic guitar and vocals. Okay, then let's consider this to be "Tull-lite." I still enjoy it just as much and give it high vibes (fives). :-)

        5 out of 5 stars Walk Into Light ~ Ian Anderson.......2003-08-15

        Of Ian's solo albums, I think this one is the best. I have it on 331/3 and played it to ruin. Am pruchasing on CD now and here because it is soooo hard to find. The first side is better than side two but this still ranks as Ian's best solo effort.
