In this show deep from the archives, mr.K speaks with Gayle Austin of Curved Radio about the work of Judy Nylon & Patti Palladin aka SNATCH, their significance as collaborators and their enduring influence as movers and shakers in the London / NY music arts scene of the mid 1970s / early 1980's. Tracks from SNATCH, Judy Nylon (solo) and Brian Eno with SNATCH are played. The opening track is Andrea Schroeder's version of 'Helden' (Heroes).

From 24:30, mr.K also addresses the matter of Judy Nylon’s key influence on Eno’s appropriation of ‘ambient music’, how her HERstory has been written out of its HIStory and the influence Nylon & Palladin had on Eno’s development of the collage technique used extensively in his later collaboration with David Byrne (My Life in the Bush of Ghosts) via the SNATCH composition, RAF, the b-side to Eno’s 45rpm of ‘King’s Lead Hat’.
