By request, Kolbe / Illenberger, 4 albums













Note the involvement of Dauner in the last one.

When you take a look at the database you'll see this guitar duo playing mostly acoustic high-velocity resonant pieces, a bit more exciting than the usual soporific new agey stuff, made quite a few albums starting with the 1978 Waves, and I add in here the 1979 Colouring the Leaves, 1982 Flieger, 1985 Kid - Second Step with Dauner.  I missed Live Kid from 1980 (I hate live albums generally), the Duo Flamenco one (I hate flamenco), and Tronic from 1983, and surprisingly and innumerably, the eighth album called 7.  At that point the duo's discographies diverge presumably after their bitter divorce and as a result they moved more into new age.

There have been a lot of guitar duo instrumental albums on this blog before, notably Kroton's Blue Sun one.

The title track of Colouring the Leaves is one of a baby handful with vocals:





The addition of brilliant genius Wolfgang Dauner, who has appeared repeatedly in these pages before (most recently here), can't possibly harm the outfit and it clearly doesn't.  Conside the Echnaton's Lullaby:





I bought some more to share later out of curiosity.

    1. Hi Julian,

      May you upload them again? The zippyshare link is down and the sendspace link doesn't work either for me. Thank you so much!
