A Hint of Eternity is an album by Swiss-based ambient artist Silvio Pfiffner, better known by the alias of Nyctalgia, released on March 20. A more concise effort, the album, thirty five minutes long, has only five tracks: One Heartbeat Away, the eponymous A Hint of Eternity, And Then There Was Silence, By the Coast of Broken Dreams and A Sudden Break in the Clouds. With the majesty of a vigorous serenity, A Hint of Eternity has all the classical aspects of the genre: calm melodies, continuous and profound sonorous intonations, a mordacious intensity and a profoundly dense musical cohesion, with interchanging qualities that keeps in the heart of its artistry a similitude of characteristics able to fortify the cohesion of a clean and dynamic unity.  

Displaying great and diversified technical abilities, supported by the infinite amplitude of possibilities allowed by the genre, Nyctalgia creates in the apex of its musical sensibilities a universe of simplified allegories that translates music into human feelings. The paradox of despair is profoundly described and delineated over the colorful grievances of serene and logical harmonies, able to promulgate on the strength of its main components the power to dissect the interior of the soul, as well as its primary intensities.

Within the scope of a categorical and meticulous sensibility, A Hint of Eternity display in the majesty of all tracks the sonorous rainbow of a visceral cycle of solitary melancholy, sidelined by a considerable platform of emotions, that converts the beauty of life into a precious and unique sonorous phenomenon. Exhibiting a wise and exceedingly confident musical sensibility, the peripheral labyrinths inserted by the artist in the expectancies of its sensorial particles validates the precious experience conceded by the record.     

A Hint of Eternity proves itself to be an intriguing ambient record. Although it lacks more vigorous elements, a stronger and consistent premise highlights the subtle – almost invisible – harmonic and expansive nature that is felt and witnessed throughout the whole album. With an astute, intelligent, appreciative and intuitive musical sagacity, Nyctalgia has created an interesting and responsive work. Unfortunately, as beautiful as it is, this record will remain restricted to circles of ambient music aficionados. Due to its profound and intense hermeticism, this album is virtually incapable to attract a new audience, or anyone unfamiliar to the genre.
