Recorded 1971-1975 & 1999
The "Renft Box" in the CD+DVD format is a carefully curated retrospective of one of the most influential bands of the East German rock scene, the Klaus Renft Combo. The audio CD presents a selection of key songs that document the band's raw, blues-rock-driven sound, their socially aware lyrics, and the unmistakable atmosphere of the GDR underground. From powerful rock anthems to more reflective, melodic pieces, this collection captures the breadth of Renft's creative period and offers both long-time fans and new listeners a compact gateway into their work.
Complementing the audio material, the included DVD adds a visual and historical dimension, for example through live recordings, archival TV appearances or documentary segments from the band's active years and possible reunion phases. This combination allows you not only to hear, but also to experience the aura of Renft on stage, the interaction with the audience and the special spirit that made the Klaus Renft Combo a cult phenomenon beyond political boundaries. The CD+DVD box is designed as a collector's item and is ideal both as an introduction and as a valuable addition to existing collections.
The Klaus Renft Combo is regarded as a pioneering band of rock music in the former GDR and is often cited as one of the most important German-language rock acts of its generation. Known for their blues-rock roots, socially critical texts and a stubborn independence, they developed a loyal fan base despite official resistance and censorship in the GDR. Their songs became a soundtrack for many young people and are still considered an authentic musical testimony of their time. The "Renft Box" condenses this artistic legacy into a compact, high-quality release.
