...a band comes along that is destined for greatness. I:scintilla is one of these. Those of us fortunate enough to live in the Champaign/Urbana area that have seen them live savor every thundering performance.I've seen a lot of bands come and go for many years (I'm 52!)and one that is both original and true to kickass rock and roll is rare these days. Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, and Tool are good examples. I:scintilla's gutslamming guitar riffs and clubbing bass lines combined with Brittany Bindram's soulful vocals are an experience you never forget. Add brilliantly synthed drums and background ambience and you have a unique package of heavy rock, spacey interludes, and just enough techno to make this band cutting edge.
Their debut album "The Approach" is a faithful studio version of their live show. As good as it is, you don't hear anything that isn't in their performance. Pretty amazing for a band that's only been together for a little over a year. The CD is very well produced, all the tracks blend together seamlessly. Although included lyrics would have been a plus, they can be obtained from their website. Favorite tracks are "Capsella Bursa Pastoris" and "Scin". Get it! See them live if you can!

3.0 out of 5 stars the original I:Scintilla CD, January 18, 2007

Like a lot of earlier CDs from other artists, you find lower quality sound, probably due to the equipment or the experience of the artists at the time. Such is the case here. The songs are mostly the same as Havestar, they are just the original mixes. Sad to say, in this case the remixes turned out better, although the original Capsella Bursa Pastoris is still a great song. As much as I like I:Scintilla, I'm not really likely to keep listening to this CD =/

Anyone who likes Evanesence will love I:Scintilla. Super-heavy goth metal combined with the hypnotic voice of Brittany. Goth rock doesnt get any better.
