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
After two blatantly 'porno' singles ("Lesbian Tendencies" and "Pussy"), and a P-Funk styled 'intro single' ("Shake What You Got, 'Cause Some Others Got Less!!"--Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS), I was thinking about making "I Used To Be A Normal Guy" the NEXT Single. I decided to change pace (and keep my sanity over the whole project!) by issuing "Thumpin' Peoples" as the NEXT Single---with "I Used To Be A Normal Guy" as it's B-Side as well (it was already "Pussy" 's B-Side, so why not ONCE MORE?). Needless to say, "Thumpin' Peoples" wasn't the most popular track off the First OSMOSIS cassette-album (even though it was the track that opened the whole album). Hell, compared to the closing track on this collection ("Funky Dreams"), "Thumpin' Peoples"--despite being wild, was just.....average. By time "KZZURRAZZGDBI" happened in '91, the OSMOSIS project was in full swing, and had it's own 'groove'--completely separate from the Cosmic Funk Orchestra project: TRANSLATION--there is NO COMPARISON to "The FCC Can't Run With Us!!" and "Life Is Really Strange" (outside of the fact that it's all done by the same person--ME!).
