Walk into Light (1983) is the debut solo album released by Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson. In many ways Walk into Light is a two-hander, with Anderson working closely with then keyboard player in Jethro Tull, Peter-John Vettese. The repetitive melody from the first track, "Fly By Night", was later used in the main element in the original theme music to the 1998 TV series All Saints, without attribution. Despite being an Ian Anderson solo album, the album was actually the most collaborative work Anderson had ever done, as Peter-John Vettese co-wrote five songs and had a strong influence on the album's style and sound.

"Walk Into Light" is the debut album released by Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson, combining sophisticated Electro-Pop songs with Anderson's typically pointed and intelligent sociological observations. Made in conjunction with keyboardist Peter-John Vetesse, "Walk Into Light" is a noble attempt at reinventing an established identity. Anderson and Vettese created the sound of a real band with many influences and hints of seventies bands as Yes and Genesis. You can also hear influences of electronic music made by bands as Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk.

The Secret Language of Birds is Ian Anderson's third solo album, but the first to specifically highlight his melodic skill and guitar prowess on a set of folk-inspired songs. His first solo album, 1983's Walk into Light, was marred by its full embrace of sterile '80s production in lieu of rusticity. While his second effort, 1995's Divinities, was a move in the right direction and a sonic precursor to the set at hand, it still was held back by its conscious decision to downplay Anderson's obvious acoustic heritage for a more classical bent. But sometimes the obvious is what works best, and Jethro Tull fans were pleased to learn that Anderson's third release finally embraced his classic sound. Just like Tull's excellent Roots to Branches, this one has a decided ethnic flair, running the gamut from Indian to Russian to Celtic.
