Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra OSMOS

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

Thought I'd get it all done by laying down the LYRICS this morning (Sunday, June 24, 2007).  "P-O-S" is a term coined by Will Smith in the movie "MEN IN BLACK", describing the car he and Tommy Lee Jones was riding around in (it was a Black FORD LTD, by the way).

I don't think ANYBODY in the audience caught on to what Will meant----

except ME!!

So, a couple of years later (in '98), I started saying the term "F-U-P-O-S", taking Will Smith's acronym to the next level.  I mean, why just leave it as a "Piece Of STUFF", when it's really a "FUNKED-UP Piece Of STUFF"----

of course, you KNOW what I'm REALLY trying to say, now don't you?  

N-Joy the funk! 

(PS:  The song also rounds out the New OSMOSIS "6" for the "Gorilla Guerrillas" Anthology Album, allowing the new tracks to become their own separate EP--if you wish to purchase it as such.)
