The one person who disliked this must be a very, very sad person. And I don't mean they're unhappy. I heard Astrid sing in Ambeon when she was 13, and thought "Hmm, this girls a great singer." I thought she was in her 20's until I looked at the comments. And now she sounds even better. Wow.
He Astrid, ik was destijds in mn Epica-periode (drums,2002-2006) ook al van jouw talenten gecharmeerd en ik kan me persoonlijk goed voorstellen dat een gave en alsmede gevoelighed cq bezieldheid zwaar op iemand kan drukken door een buitenwereld die toch met abstracte ogen naar een persoon kijkt en vaak snel oordelen en/of iemand op een voetstuk plaatsen in een hokje waar je juist wilt uitbreken...Ik vind jou oprecht een van de betere zangeressen vanuit de 2000 stroming van de female fronted metal opkomst. Ik hoor bij jou een diepe laag meelopen, noem t oude ziel, die heb je of die heb je niet. Wat ik zo knap vind dat je dan je eigen pad gaat en ook voor de kwetsbaarheden durft uit te komen, puur menselijk en geen ego of facade nodig..Respect pur sang!!!! Mocht je ooit met mij willen samenwerken dan zeg ik zeker geen nee...;) Het allerbeste op je pad!! Menselijke groet, Jeroen Simons...
My gosh! You're just gorgeous! It's very good to have you back in music, Astrid! I hope this will allow you to join Arjen with a new Ambeon album in a soon future... Cheerz from Brazil! o/
It's now October 2020 & there's still no US release of this, neither is there anywhere on any Overseas URL I can find to get it. Whoever Astrid dealt with for a Distributor majorly hosed her.
You have a such a beautiful voice !! I am so happy you are better now :)! I can identify with your story on your webpage - thank you so much for sharing it and giving hope! Love from Vienna :) ! Daria
So good to have you back. Your biography on the webpage was so touching, and I look forward to hearing the newest album (that I just ordered). God bless
From time to time, I would occasionally wonder "What happened to Astrid van der Veen?" I read your bio before listening. I'm glad you're doing well. And of course, the music sounds really interesting. Glad you're back.
Mooi Astrid, kwam hier terecht doordat ik Ambeon aan het luisteren was. Heb ook gelezen dat je onze Vader hebt gevonden! Super! Prachtige stem heb je gekregen
I am working on a project with some new-found friends from Russian. They turned me on to Ayreon and I discovered your Ambeon album. After being duly impressed by your voice, I got to thinking "whatever happened to Astrid?" I found your website and was greatly touched by your bio. I can say more, but I want to save space. I found this and see that your voice is as beautiful as ever. I am so glad you made through your dark period--and strongly at that. You are such an inspiration for those of us who struggle with depression looking for a way (especially through musical expression) to reach "the other side where we find light, love and life".
Je kunt nog steeds zingen, gelukkig! Prachtig Astrid. En volgens mij een mooi gevarieerd album. Geweldig he als het lukt, om wat er nu in je leeft, zo vorm te geven. Is dat een eigen schilderij? :)
I think she holds her own WITHOUT Lucassen! If Stride decides to get back together in a project with him, he should pay her a zillion dollars just for the opportunity of having her there!!!
Zojuist gedeeld op mn fb wall met de volgende text: Onbegrijpelijk dat Astrid nooit door is gebroken.... De enige zangeres die qua talent bij Anneke van Giersbergen in de buurt komt. :) (en dat van de broer van Elvya Dulcimer / Liesbeth :P )

Astrid, we miss you!
i've been your fan since 2001, when knew Ambeon project. Cheers from Brazil.
Love your music.. from Brazil, kisses!
It's so emotionally beautiful. One of the best singers I ever listened
Happy to see Astrid is back. Ambeon was one step for me in becoming a fan of music and not JUST a metal head.
Is there any chance to buy this album?
Astrid, I hope you are happy. You have a beautiful voice......amazing! Keep singing.....please and thank you
Come back Astrid, you are missed

Never disappointing. Fan since 2001.
I'm glad you overcome all your life's obstacles and circumstances and looking forward into future.

Wonderful music from a enchanting singer with a very beautiful voice. It is awesome.
Absolutely beautiful.
Astrid a beauty voice!
Very beautiful!
Wow, that sounds awesome! You rule, Astrid. Totally.
2018 & STILL NO U.S. RELEASE OF THIS???!!! Why???
Astrid, you ULTRA MEGA WICKED NEED A BETTER DISTRIBUTOR!!!
My gosh! You're just gorgeous! It's very good to have you back in music, Astrid! I hope this will allow you to join Arjen with a new Ambeon album in a soon future... Cheerz from Brazil! o/
So beautiful!
I can't wait for this album, I'm very happy!
This is amazing, Astrid! I'm so glad to meet you again...

wow what a lovely voice..
So fine!!! Thanx for the music Astrid!!!! :)
I'm so happy to hear new material. It sounds beautiful and I can't wait to get my hands on the new album. :) Cheeers!
From time to time, I would occasionally wonder "What happened to Astrid van der Veen?" I read your bio before listening. I'm glad you're doing well. And of course, the music sounds really interesting. Glad you're back.
We're very happy that you returned!! I love your voice, and your new work is amazing!
we missed you. :')
I somehow totally missed that she released this! I love her solo work. Anybody know where one can buy a copy? Astrid’s website is not online...
hey Astrid, wat een mooie cd is het geworden, xx
Dear Astrid --- How do we get ahold of this album in North America? Thanks for the preview.
This is great!
Does anyone have this complete album? Please!!
Wow, ben er gewoon sprakeloos van. Ga de cd zeker halen!
Im kind of surprized no other related videos beyond this have come out since this now officially over a year and almost 3/4s old?? Wondering why?
Simply breathtaking!! :)
(I wish I understood Dutch... :P)
Mooi Astrid, kwam hier terecht doordat ik Ambeon aan het luisteren was. Heb ook gelezen dat je onze Vader hebt gevonden! Super! Prachtige stem heb je gekregen
Astrid ,Qual vai ser o seu próximo trabalho?
Oi Astrid.
Gosto muito de sua voz.
Conheci seu trabalho com o Ambeon.
É um imenso prazer, continuar escutando seu trabalho.
I am working on a project with some new-found friends from Russian. They turned me on to Ayreon and I discovered your Ambeon album.

Buena musica, ojalá trabajen en otro proyecto junto con ayreon. Saludos.
It would be amazing to hear you in the new Ayreon album.
Je kunt nog steeds zingen, gelukkig! Prachtig Astrid. En volgens mij een mooi gevarieerd album. Geweldig he als het lukt, om wat er nu in je leeft, zo vorm te geven.
Is dat een eigen schilderij? :)
Que lindo ;-;
YESS
:) :) Ι'm so happy !! You just made my day!!
most beautifull female voice ever
the great marsh
I think she holds her own WITHOUT Lucassen! If Stride decides to get back together in a project with him, he should pay her a zillion dollars just for the opportunity of having her there!!!
здорово
