Mindfunk (The Darkside) -internet single version

The extremely freaky 'Title Track' (if you will) to 'Git Weird'. This is the special 'internet version'--the ALBUM Version is even freakier!
single 1990 osmosis mindfunk the darkside
An Experimental Project (Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra), and a Loose Funky Jammer (OSMOSIS). 2 separate sides, the very same dude.
Hello. Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS is actually a One-Man Home Recording Project that has been my 'stress relief' (ha ha!), since about MAY, 1981. I'm from that first wave of DIY Cassette-Tapers ('analog'--and PROUD OF IT!). Hell, the majority of my material between '81 and '99 was done on the earliest large-model Casio Synthesizers (the MT-68, MT-400-V and MT-200), with a Yamaha thrown into the mix (on occasion). Recently, I've started posting my material on the web (after transfering it from cassette-tape to digital disc, and then to MP3---a very hard process, considering the AGE of some of the tapes). It was in these past 2 1/2 years on the web that I discovered that, despite the ridicule you're going to get, there IS an Audience for your music--no matter how different it is. I've been telling some of my friends and peers for years to NEVER get rid of ANY of their recordings, no matter how 'crappy' you were (of think you were), because having a 'Back Catalog' is a damn good thing. You MAY have been sitting on some GEMS, and not even know it. And, when I discovered that a 21-year-old jam I posted on MySpace recently ROCKED a lot of folks as far away as SCOTLAND and AFRICA (!), I felt pumped. It means that this was a 'dream' that came thru in the end.

Story behind the song
"Mindfunk (The Darkside)" is just plain weird!! Period. This 'internet version' is simply the 'backing track' (featuring both the Lead and Backing Vocals). The ALBUM VERSION, on the other hand, has a THIRD Vocal (which, if I uploaded it, would've truly AGED the song--the basic tracks were recorded in 1990!!!!). This whole (original)'Cassette-Album' was planned for late 1991---but I shelved it to get the SECOND Osmosis Cassette-Album ready (as well as a Cosmic Funk Orchestra Cassette-Album called "Life Is Really Strange"). The "Git Weird" sessions just sat, until a couple of NEW TRACKS were recorded in 2004 and 2005 ("High-Low", and two others which still didn't make it on the album, "Invasion" and "Legend" respectively). The "Git Weird" CD finally made it's official Debut on August 22, 2006 (my Birthday!!), on my MySpace site as a Free CD. It was a hit--not bad for a new CD of (nearly) 2-decade-old sessions.
