Their last release was "Close My Eyes" in the summer of 2000. While this single didn't do anything special in Belgium, they had a nice hit with it in Canada in 2001. After Astroline separated, Kathleen Goossens became the singer of dance project Orion Too. Later on, she changed her stage name to Caitlin.
