Christine Collister's "Into the Light" is, in the main, an exploration of largely uncharted Collister territory of optimism and joy of life! It opens strongly iwth "Ashlands" (co-written by Christine & Paul Dodgson). An uplifting song of a reborn spirit. In a similar vein is Christine's own song "Act of Kindness" whose lyrics give the album its title. Perhaps however the darker, more melancholy songs are the strongest and most engaging - "Fallen Angel", "I Still Haven't found what I'm Looking For" & "Quiet". But this wonderful album doesn't have any songs that disappoint (although the lilting and fussy "Little Bird" is my cuckoo in this nest). The percussion and bass on may songs is outstanding and underpins Christine's soaring voice. Buy it and be happy (most of the time).

Another fantastic offering from Ms Collister with all the trademark strength and beauty that her voice offers. All strong songs and all eminently worth listening to over and over. A must for any collection, and surely must rate in with the top female vocalists of our time.

Rather disapointing and somewhat ordinary. Her earlier work was much better and far more individual.
