daytona73 Sounds like the earth being born. Highly recommended.

An Goblin what an incredible journey this album is, like gliding over an alien moonscape in four dimensions.

LuganLux Love the journey that I take every time I listen to this album. I just sink in, sink in deep starting with track #1. Favorite track: Cahaya Bulan.

about

Originally released in 2020 as a double 12", Tides marked Joachim Spieth’s second full-length album on his Affin imprint. The record quickly sold out and has now been reissued as a carefully crafted CD edition presented in a 6-panel digipak.

The album unfolds across eight tracks, shaped by endlessly interwoven layers and subtle shifts of tone, tracing a path between immersive, melancholic, and euphoric moments. Flowing textures and atmospheric depth merge into a vivid emotional landscape — a signature element of Spieth’s sonic world.

Press reactions:

“Tides is a masterpiece of dark ambient music.” – 5Mag.net

“What you do get is lush, ever moving soundscapes that provide layers of sound and temperature, that move in different ways.” – Drifting, Almost Falling

“Spieth’s ambient is of XL size, pretentious and powerful that you just can’t ignore.” – Terminal313

“The entire album has a cool, lush beauty to it, rewarding the listener at any time of day or night with a sonic excursion to other lands.” – Igloomag
