Artist picture
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
The FIRST Single from the FIRST "OSMOSIS" Cassette-Album, "Lesbian Tendencies" is actually a 'remake' of an old Cosmic Funk Orchestra B-Side from early 1985. The only thing that remains the same is the bass line and the lyrics. Everything else has been re-arranged--BIG TIME!!! This is also the THIRD time this song has seen a cassette-single issue, and the SECOND TIME this version has been a Cassette-Single A-Side in 2 Months (sorta). Prior to THIS version, the single was issued as a Cosmic Funk Orchestra single (with a Cosmic Funk Orchestra version of 'Sugar Caine' on the B-Side). The vocal arrangements were 'sedate', compared to THIS version. Out of all three vocal versions, only the OSMOSIS version became the 'standard'. The track is wild, the vocals are unleashed, the electronic effects are all over the place. And that nasty-assty 'Cyndi Lauper-inspired' bridge ("Girls Just Wanna Have Fun---With EACH OTHER!!") comes thru more sinister and evil than in the two previous Cosmic Funk Versions (and the screaming that follows that bridge is CLASSIC!). Finally, in case you DIDN'T get what the Title means, let me explain: (**ahem**)"Girls-Lovin'-Girls-But-Keepin'-Their-Guys-On-The-Side"! Got It, Fellas? To the Bi-Babes, we're just like a side salad while our sisters are the main course. And Yes--it FREAKED out folks on Broadjam!!! (ha ha!!)
