This is a live recording, captured at Ego club in Düsseldorf, June 5 1999.  The music has been created with a self written step sequencer, the PX-18, controlling  a basic sample player and effects engine, all done in MaxMSP, running on a Powerbook G3. The step sequencer had some unique features, e.g. the ability to switch patterns independently in each track, which later became an important part of a certain music software.

I found the recording on a backup disk today. It has not been edited or mastered. During the first 20 minutes of the set, and before the 'encore' the Monolake CD 'Gobi' is playing in the background.

Lyrics : 
I got up
About a quarter to nine
I got up
And to my surprise
I found a new finger
On the familiar five
I found a new finger
On the familiar five

I went out
Zig zag down the street
I went out
And all the people I meet
They said 'how are you?'
I said 'I'm doing just fine
I found a new finger
On the familiar five'

Yes i'm ugly
I'm your newborn freak
Yes I'm ugly
Ugly but unique
I can assure you
That the pleasure is all mine
I came to show you
Let me come inside
I'm gonna show you
What I'm capable of
I found a new finger 
On the familiar five
I found a new finger
On the familiar five
I found a new finger
On the familiar five

Familiar Five
