Fresh Aire II was the second album released by new-age musical group Mannheim Steamroller. The album was originally released in 1977. Each of the first four Fresh Aire albums is based on a season; Fresh Aire II's theme is Fall.
Fresh Aire II is particularly unique in the series as it is the only album that is almost entirely based on a single melody, presented consistently in the "Fantasia" music cycle (tracks 1-9) which starts off with 'Chorale,' followed by the seven "doors" and ending with the piece 'Fantasy.' This melody is heard in the closing track 'Going To Another Place' and can also be heard quoted throughout the rest of the series and even in some of the Christmas albums, usually appearing in a form closest to the first few notes in "The First Door."
