Inspired by an episode of the surreal 1960's cult tv series The Prisoner, in which Speedlearn - a subliminal television-based education program presented as a revolutionary fast-track method of learning - turns out to be a tool for mass thought control and indoctrination. W.H.Y appeared on Ambient Dub Volume 2 on Beyond Records (1993) and Preform.
