The Brain of the Dog in Section is a live album by saxophonist Peter Brötzmann and cellist and electronic musician Fred Lonberg-Holm.

"[3] In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek stated that the musicians make "an excellent case for showcasing the importance of listening in free improvisation," and acknowledged the "wealth of sonic textures and dynamics" on the album.

"[5] Paris Transatlantic's Massimo Ricci remarked: "this set... is so jam-packed with slicing shards, rusty spikes and Tasmanian Devil whirls-and-sputters that any attempt at description is doomed to failure...

"[6] Writing for JazzWord, Ken Waxman noted that Brötzmann's "reed command is so entrenched that his range overwhelms even if the textures exposed can resemble the death rattle of a carnivorous animal or the warning cries of a carrion-seeking bird of prey," and stated that "Lonberg-Holm's harsh oscillations, ring modulator-suggested vamps and agitated sul ponticello flanges are perfect in this context, since they set up abrasive counterpoint to the reedist's blustering multiphonics.

Certainly, fans of Schwarzwaldfahrt, Brotzmann and Han Bennink's now classic free-jazz camping trip deep into Germany's Black Forest, are strongly urged to check into this seminal blast!
