Mrs Higginbottom-Rules Of Thumbs ,MLP,1983,USA

Here's the description from an EBAY seller,which is as close to the facts as possible:"Unbelievably rare minimal synth masterpiece from San Francisco. This is still pretty much an unknown, selling $400+. As for a description of the music, I'll crib it word for word from our man GOUTROY:Whoa buddy.... Here's one you don't see... ever. It's a completely unknown, self-released, virtually uncredited EP called Rules of Thumbs by SF's minimal electronic god(s) Mrs Higginbottom. Six tracks of almost pure analogue electronics full of knob twiddling, key banging, and drum machines. It was released in 1983. Five of the tracks are instrumental, and one has great female vocals, sounding like a slower, loungier early Human League. There's one kinda rock/postpunk song (the only one with primarily guitars) that sounds like an instrumental New Order song. Then there's Fugue of the Feeding Hand, an incredible dark electro track. Imagine Iron Curtain's song Condos, but with no vocals. But nothing compares to the sheer synthmasturbation (hey! A new word!) contained on Gnawing Conscience. It's a few minutes of drum machines and analogue synth twiddling to the Nth degree. Yes, there is something on here for every minimal synth nut. "

Absolutely great post punk with minimal synth edges .
