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

Needed to bang out something to deal some serious stress (it's 'the WEATHER'!), so I used Matt Maconachy's "DIE FOR TO" as the instrumental backdrop, and the lyrics to a song I wrote in '87 ("PLAYIN' THE GAME"), and married them.   

I also extended the GODLESS BEAUTY track (via re-mix), making it about 3 1/2 minutes (as opposed to the 1 1/2  minutes it originally was).

This vocal version is complete (but I was tempted to bring Gothadelic's "MINISTER DeSOUL" to the party, but later).

UPDATE (Friday, February 12, 2016):
Almost 8 years later, this song, and the WHOLE "THE NEW RELIGION" album, is coming to iTunes.   FINALLY.
