If you know Metro D, you know we are fucking John Frusciante fanatics. If you aren't hip to his game outside of Red Hot Chili Peppers, then you are missing some amazing stuff. I will put it this way, we listened to his solo stuff the entire way home from Albany. On shuffle. Albums at a time. For five and a half hours (with brief interludes of pirate jokes and Chappelle show memories from Frat). His solo work beginning with To Record Only Water For Ten Days is mind-blowing. Now that we have established our love for his goodness...here is the news:
From Frusciante.net, 10.29.06:
"While some people still keep their heads in disblief, Amazon.de put Ataxia's second record up for presale here. From this offer it is obvious that the record is going to be titled II.From Frusciante.net, 10.07.06:
"Even though there is no information on when and how this record will be released in other countries than Germany."
"The official German John Frusciante website has now revealed the release date for the second release from the Ataxia session in February 2004. It will be released in Germany on the 1st December 2006.Some of you may be in the dark right now. What the fuck is Ataxia? Who the fuck is John Frusciante? How the fuck did the Cardinals win the World Series? So let's back it up a little bit. A litte while ago (2004), John Frusciante released 7 albums in one year - 6 of those in 6 months - during a period of creativity many fans hope will repeat following the Stadium Arcadium tour. One of those albums was a project called Automatic Writing. The group behind that effort consisted of Joe Lally (Fugazi), Josh Klinghoffer (Bicycle Thiefs) and John. They called themselves Ataxia, and the 5 track CD they created was a monster. With the Chili Peppers winding down one leg of a North American tour and another tour (with Gnarls Barkley) on the horizon, many fans of John's solo work are holding their breath wondering when the solo madness will break loose. It is still very unclear because the sources are fan-sites. Once something official breaks open we will be sure to let you know, but until then here is a little nibble.
"There are no further information given concerning a possible record title or a cover.
"But we can already name the tracklist of an unmastered version:"
1. "Ethiopian Song"
2. "The Empty's Response"
3. "Attention"
4. "OLA"
5. "The Soldier"
MP3: Ataxia - "Dust"
