Another Spin Around the Sun is the debut solo album by the Canadian alternative rock singer Edwin, released by Sony on April 27, 1999 in Canada and July 4, 2000 in the United States. It went Platinum in Canada[1] and was nominated for a Juno Award in 2000 for Best Rock album.[2]

The album had more of an emphasis on vocals and more of a pop structure than any of the singer's prior work. Electronic effects, drum loops, and vocal overdubs were also incorporated into a strikingly eclectic mix.
