The path to success started to become clearer. Padi was signed for 4 albums under Sony’s label. Their debut album, Lain Dunia, was released a year after, August 6, 1999. Though slowly, the sales was a surely one. More and more people knew PADI after their singles became hit songs. Begitu Indah, Demi Cinta, Seperti Kekasihku, and Mahadewi, to mention but a few. Mahadewi became a hit after its clip was released and topped music charts on TV channels as well as radios nationwide.

Their second album, Sesuatu Yang Tertunda, was released July 2nd, 2001. Some 450,000 copies were sold when it was firs launched. What people would undoubtedly remember from this album is the all-time, legendary hit, “Kasih Tak Sampai”. Many said it would be PADI’s everlasting song, which would be forever remembered.

Save My Soul, the third album, was released June 18, 2004, but launched June 24, 2004. The launching creates such a buzz, as PADI performed on the rooftop of a fast food restaurant at Sarinah - Thamrin, broadcasted live on a private TV channel in Indonesia. The album was said to be full of surprises, as many commented the songs were complicated and rather “off” for market’s taste at the moment. However, it even indicated PADI’s sincerity in music. It was on this third album also that PADI finally brought their dream to collaborate with their music icon, Iwan Fals, into reality in Sesuatu Yang Tertunda. The album was sold 500,000 copies within a week.

The fourth album, self-titled PADI, was released May 9, 2005. PADI was said to be their “rebirth” album. The spirit, the collaboration, were said to be similar to their first album’s recording. PADI collaborated with many senior musicians for the album, such as Bubby Chen (jazz pianist), Abadi Soesman (keyboardist), and Idris Sardi (violist). One of the songs, Menanti Sebuah Jawaban, was made an original soundtrack to a local film, Ungu Violet.

In addition to the above four regular albums, PADI also participated in some compilation albums, such as “Official Songs World Cup” (Work of Heaven, 2002), a religious album “Family Songs Hadad Alwi” (Doaku, 2003), “Tribute to Ian Antono” (Saksi Gitar Tua, 2004), and a social album for Tsunami victims in Aceh, “Kita Untuk Mereka” (26 Desember, 2005).
