Similar in style and disposition to volume 1 except that this is a single disc release as opposed to the preceeding double LP. Some artists are featured on both such as Ingegerd Nordell, noted jazz vocalist Nannie Porres, Mantra, and Göteborgs Visgrupp (of ”Riv alla stängsel” fame). ”Glimtar II” suffers from the same inconsistency as the first volume, with a hodge-podge of political progg, smooth jazz, folk and even a pipe band. Among the better efforts is Panik's lone track ”Ingenting” featuring some melodic fuzz guitar, althought it would have been more interesting hadn't it been an instrumental – in this state it sounds like a backing track rather than a finished track. Mantra's contribution is another stale fusion number, this time with a surprisingly spacey synth (or moog) driven middle section; "Two Cats in My Fantasy" might be mildly interesting to seriously devoted fusion heads.
The
album was recorded in 1977 but not released until the following year.
