Martin Kolbe and Ralf Illenberger were considered the dream couple of the German acoustic guitar scene in the 70s and 80s. The label "Best German Guitar Duo" was slapped on them in their first year of collaboration and stuck with them until the duo's demise in 1987 – even though they always rejected this label. "Superlatives like 'the best,' 'the fastest,' or 'the strongest' can perhaps be used in sports. They have no place in art," they said in an interview.
