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
This version is ONLY available on the CD/MP3/Cassette Album!!! And, for good reason--it's a super psychotic freak-out (as in, the kind they just don't make anymore!). The original song IS the single; this album version is a re-mix that was originally planned for the First OSMOSIS Cassette-Album (that troubled "The FCC Can't Run With Us!!"), but was bounced at the last moment--- all because "Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra", and "..this third cut right here!!" were mentioned in the track. (if you listen closely to the single, you can hear the 'shadow' of the Album Version.) As for the 'story' (heh heh): it concerns a person who buys a cassette copy of THIS album (this was 1990--cassettes were still BIG!), and now wants to get a refund because of the 'subliminal messages' in the track. Methinks said 'customer' was STONED!! (heh heh!)
