Press quotes for Glücklich IV

"The Biggest complaint about compilations that most people have is that unlike artists albums, they usually lack a cohesive character or a distinctive set of features that allows one to identify with the contents, rendering most of them soulless. The Glücklich series is a grand exeption. ... Glücklich IV is like meeting your lover at your favorite club spot for a round or two ... and whatever else happens." XLR8R

"Do you enjoy the sweet candied sound of bossanova, samba, reggae and jazz? Do you like to rub warm Carribean chocolate all over your hard chest and between those American thighs? Do you like to fuck? Then buy this CD." Boston's Weekly Dig

"Excellent. Just when you thought the Latin-dance explosion was getting tired, this comp reminds you why it got so big in the first place." Alternative Press
