Expresso II is the eighth studio album released under the name Gong and the de facto second album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong.

[2] Featuring an all-instrumental jazz-driven sound, notable for the prominent use of vibraphone, it has little to do with the psychedelic space rock of Daevid Allen's Gong, even though the two bands share a common history.

Although the album was issued by Virgin Records under the "Gong" name for contractual reasons, and the name "Pierre Moerlen's Gong" would not be adopted for a few more months, the lineup involved and the nature of the music are those of the Moerlen-led band.

This was the final Gong-related album released by Virgin; the band continued on Arista Records.

The track "Heavy Tune" is featured on Fusion FM radio in the game Grand Theft Auto IV.
