Vadadi is a Swedish one man band (named after it’s sole member
Robert Vadadi), formed in 2007 and driven by a desire to express, explore or achieve certain emotions, and offer something more to dream of.
His self titled debut is cool and different with many suprises.
My personal highlight is Heartbeat.
(available via Bandcamp).

... my Chinese tells me that this blogpost is a rip-off of an older post.
And even though it makes me feel things ... thx for the post Lovedark.com

The Shadow Project, A Beauty To Fight For.
专辑介绍：Robert Vadadi，一位瑞典音乐人以自己名字命名的专辑。Vadadi的音乐显然是受到shoegaze启发，但有很多不同的内容，这里有各种不同的音乐风格，所以很难限定他只有一个流派。专辑旋律性很强，略带忧郁。Vadadi 试图在光与暗，快乐与悲伤之间找到平衡。光明和黑暗，欢喜与忧伤， Vadad用自己的音乐来表达这些的平衡，从不跳出自己的情感，而这却恰好好能感动我。如果你听过丹麦乐队MEW，这张专辑里有些歌曲会让你想到他。节奏的变化，有很多反差，硬要素突然改为柔和的声音，反之亦然，墙壁的声音和大合唱。在这张唱片里，是乐队对My Bloody Valentine的致敬，包括开篇本人最喜欢的曲子“Loveless”就是取名自My Bloody Valentine最出色的一张唱片，这张唱片非常值得一听。
這個世界充滿了黑暗與陰鬱，是否會有美麗之神，讓我們還能看見希望的曙光。也許這只是神話，而vadadi的音樂響起時，卻無法抑制的讓人想起這些畫面。即使第一印像是原始粗糙的，可情感詩般的氛圍會瞬間將你帶入一個溫暖、艷麗、優美的異時空旅程，眼前不斷跳躍的幻像，陪伴你探尋每一種內心中隱藏已久的情緒。Robert Vadadi一人組成了Vadadi的全部，來自「黑夜之城」斯德哥爾摩的他自2007年出道以來便被譽為最接近Mew與My Bloody Valentine傳奇的人。低語呢喃還有飄渺吉他音線，時而平和、時而激烈、時而略帶感傷地把他內心中真實的愛、痛、狂歡、孤單等情緒，一一訴說給你聽。配合迷幻重疊的旋律去貼近你的身體乃至靈魂，直至俘獲你一起欲罷不能。 Vadadi一直試圖在光與暗、冷與暖、悲與喜之間找到一種聽覺與感官上的平衡，完整地表達出沉浸在內心深處的憂傷與陰鬱。 (介绍整理自网络)

Call it Shoegaze, Post-Rock or Vadadi
Vadadi is a one man band from Stockholm, Sweden. The one man creating all this sound is Robert Vadadi. Hence the band name. His debut album, also called Vadadi, was released a couple years ago in 2008, however, it looks like he is working on a 2nd album. So, this is a perfect time for you to get familiar with this artist and “catch up” if you will.

I couldn’t find much information on the 2nd album, but if you purchase the first album they’ll put your name into the coming album’s cover. (Pretty cool)

Vadadi is strange. It’s dark, yet as you’ll hear in “Loveless” there’s a glimmer of hope in the chorus. I don’t know if that is what Robert was trying to achieve, but that’s how I perceive it. Also, Vadadi’s bio backs up this concept:

“The world is a dark, gloomy place but underneath it all there is a undeniable, essential beauty keeping things in order and all hope alive. This may not be facts, but listening to Vadadis debut album will inevitably evoke such images. The music within is harsh, raw and epic, but at the same time warm, rich and melodic; a journey of sorts, exploring almost every emotion known to man.”

Is this music that you should listen to if you’re clinically depressed? Maybe not. :) Then again, maybe it will inspire you if you’re depressed. Who knows. I don’t. Do you?

代购Vadadi限量纪念CD 【新版重混缩】
之前帮助vadadi发了这篇中文日志「想在新专辑里出现你的名字吗？」，由于外币卡和海外邮费的原因，有不少豆友问我是否可以协助代购。当然没问题，不过就需要你们迅速豆邮给我登记以下资料「姓名移动电话邮箱联系地址购买数量」，我在核算海外邮费平摊后会定下首批代购价格(大概40多RMB)，然后开通淘宝购买方式的，纯属友情协助，不收取任何中间费用，也希望大家不要去购买淘宝等网站上的vadadi盗版CD ：）

新版曲目可以在Vadadi豆瓣音乐人页面上试听，相信听过旧版的童鞋一定明白重新混缩的版本有多么的赞了吧~
