A new direction from the man that brought us the wonderful Banking Left from spring 1995. Cellobotomy is an all-instrumental album that captures Freudmann's idiosyncratic humor with just the sound of his cello (and other instrumentation). The Gadfly 'purple prose' says: "Whether he's sounding like classical with a smirk, a master on acid, or a roomful of symphonists, Freudmann will make you wonder what happened, but be glad that it did!"
