Ataxia involved guitarist
John Frusciante (guitars, vocals),
Joe Lally (bass, vocals), and
Josh Klinghoffer (drums, synthesizer, vocals). A portion of the band's sessions, titled Automatic Writing, was issued in 2004 on the Warner-distributed Record Collection, in the midst of a flurry of solo releases from
Frusciante. Inspired in part by
Public Image Limited's Metal Box, Automatic Writing contained five lengthy and roaming songs that sounded very off-the-cuff. ~ Andy Kellman
