Cahaya Bulan

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 credits
