Just amazing, August 21, 2005
This review is from: Another Spin Around the Sun (Audio CD)
I'd been semi-familiar with I Mother Earth's music and then I heard that their lead singer Edwin had split from the band. I knew he had his own style but I never realized just how good his solo material was until I heard the song "Alive"...and then as I've been known to do, I bought the CD to see what else this guy had up his sleeve. Well, as it turns out...this guy has some sleeves. From the opening heartbeat in "Theories" to the slightly Lennonesque "And You" to everything else on the album, this is just some amazing stuff. Not a single track that sounds like any other track on the disc...totally diverse and yet totally cohesive. There were at least five singles to come from this disc in his native Canada, and I've turned a ton of folks on to this CD here in the States. It draws you in and keeps you there. Don't wait. Investigate this CD...then bombard Edwin's website with e-mail asking when his next CD is coming (his second CD with his new band, Edwin & the Pressure, is filled with more of his unique spin on the world...no pun intended).
This CD IS very much worth your time!

5.0 out of 5 stars
finally, a rockin' solo MALE, September 4, 2000
This review is from: Another Spin Around the Sun (Audio CD)
I first bought this album after seeing Edwin live (and getting an autograph) at the Edgefest concert in Edmonton. He's a sweet, friendly guy -- and the music is awesome. He has an organic, heartfelt voice that rips at your gut and rockin' tunes that make you want to crank the volume in your car and sing along. A perfect remedy for Teen Pop oversaturation. All the songs are great, even the hidden track, "Another Drink". There are quite a few singles out in Canada (Trippin, Hang Ten, And You, Alive, and Rush), and Edwin has definitely proved that he has what it takes to make fabulous music, with or without a band; for those who don't know, he was the lead singer of I Mother Earth. A wonderful disc that has been a steady member of my 6-CD tray.

Not bad, February 5, 2005
This review is from: Another Spin Around the Sun (Audio CD)
This isn't as good as "Scenery and Fish" by I Mother Earth but it's still a decent solo album. Edwin's song "Alive" was a huge hit in Canada and it's easy to see why - it's a beautiful song with nice lyrics. Aside from Edwin's annoying voice, "Another Spin Around the Sun" is an awesome record.
