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
PREDATING QUENTIN TARENTINO AND ROBERT RODRIGUEZ'S INFAMOUS "TITTY-TWISTER BAR" IN 1997's "FROM DUSK TO DAWN" BY AN AMAZING 11 YEARS (originally recorded in May, 1986!!!!). Just thought you'd like to know. NEVER widely distributed (just sold to a few neighbors and friends on it's initial issue), so what happened in '97 was literally 'sound-unheard'!! Of course, I just laughed at the fact that artists can have the SAME Ideas. Anyways, it's about a dude and his lady (although not MENTIONED in THIS Track, these are the Hero and Heroine of the album-track before this one, on the cassette)who receive an invitation to check out this new Club, called "The Other-Side Of Hell". It's a very 'exclusive-type' club (think Biker Bar, Gay Bar,....places like THAT), where if--despite an 'invite'--if you DON'T Resemble the 'Clientele', you'd feel awfully out of place. And that's what makes this Story-Song Hilarious---our 'couple' is as out of place there as a pair of sheep in a bar full of pigs. And, they get RAGGED-ON by the House Band!!!! How humiliating!!
