Excellent advice, Peter. This is exactly 
what has helped (and is still helping) me.

But Joost, you should at least make 1 
album with songs the way you have been 
working until now. I LOVE your recent 
songs, they are so cool, so full of 
melancholy and 80's passion (I don't 
know what that is, but it just came out 
of my typing fingers ;-) !!! It would be 
a real shame if you would just leave 
that stuff alone...
