Music composition is definitely subject to creeping featuritis. Uwe Schmidt (Atom Heart) combats this by having an idea for a track/song and executing it, never going back, and never spending tons of time wibbling with details. If you know what you want to make, it's really more a matter of implementation. If you don't, well, then you start down the path of Axl Rose and every other band that takes 8 years to make an album.
