"AW II" is the second half of the Ataxia sessions, and is the followup to "Automatic Writing" which consists of John Frusciante, Joe Lally, and Josh Klinghoffer, completed in January 2004. It was re-mixed by John Frusciante in 2006 and finally set for official release in Germany on January 2, 2007, but later pushed back. Record Collection executives and Frusciante's official website cited a release date of May 29, 2007, when it was finally released.

The album was leaked onto the internet in December 2006. However, there are several differences between the leak and the finally released record. The track listing has been rearranged, some of the tracks have been renamed and the sound of the tracks has undergone minor changes.
