In 2000, the band signed with Multimedia records, a licensee for Universal Music Group, and so has already managed to procure a release of their début album on a major label. With the album, titled Far Away From L.A. (2001), came a number of very popular music videos and also a nomination for the ''Bumerang'' [boomerang] award.
  
ed desetletjem so Dreamwalk doma poželi prve uspehe in pod založbo Multimedia Records izdali album Far Away From L.A. (2001). Z videospoti so kotirali visoko na lestvicah Videospotnic , nominirani so bili za nagrado Bumerang, po številnih nastopih doma in v tujini pa so v Izštekanih z Juretom Longyko odigrali svoj repertoar tudi v akustični izvedbi. V želji po mednarodnem občinstvu so se z drugo ploščo Three Days Later (2004) osredotočili izključno na angleška besedila, razlike v interesih pa so privedle do prijateljskega razhoda z založbo. Skupina je stroške celotnega albuma in deloma tudi videa za skladbo »What If« krila iz lastnega žepa. Po manjši evropski turneji so se za daljši čas umakni s scene, ter se posvetili osebnemu življenju in študiju.

While their first album also featured some songs in Slovenian language, their second record Three Days Later (2004) was wholly sung in English. It was self-released by the band, which has previously had a friendly parting with the label, and was than followed by a short tour around Europe. After that, even though the band went into a hiatus, their album still circulated the net and has gotten rather big on the web page Download.com, achieving circa 200.000 downloads.  
  
Prav v času odsotnosti pa so skladbe z albuma na sedaj že ukinjenem glasbenem portalu Download.com, takrat enem vodilnih spletnih medijev za izmenjavo glasbe, dosegle neverjetnih 200 tisoč prenosov in skupino na alternativnih lestvicah postavile ob bok svetovno znanim imenom, kot so Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Silverstein in Underoath. Po večletnem sanjarjenju je tako glasba Dreamwalk dobila noge in v svet odšla kar sama. Lani je album na spletu pritegnil pozornost založbe Brain Fuse Records, ki je na eni izmed kompilacij izdala skladbo “Simple”, takrat pa so se začeli tudi dogovori o podpisu pogodbe.

Ta je, tako kot njihov videospot za skladbo Lonely boy, na takratnih glasbenih videolestvicah kotiral visoko, nekateri mediji so skupino označevali za eno prvih neo grunge skupin pri nas, ki se naslanja na zvok ameriške skupine Green Day.

Drugi album, ki so ga v Münchnu posneli v sodelovanju s producentom Jurgenom Yogijem Langom, je prinesel nov zvok, ki so ga opredelili kot zmes alter rocka in emo cora, plošča pa je bila takrat med najbolj prodajnimi domačimi glasbenimi proizvodi v angleškem jeziku.
