Episode II is the first mainstream studio album by Safri Duo, a percussion duo from Denmark that released six classical albums before its breakthrough with the Michael Parsberg-produced hit "Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song)", the opening track of the album. It was released on June 26, 2001 and reissued in 2002 with two additional tracks, including a cover version of "Sweet Freedom" with vocals by American R&B/soul singer Michael McDonald.[3] Later the same year a Remix Edition of the album was released, which included an additional disc with remixes by artist such as Airscape, Cosmic Gate and Future Breeze.[4]
