Posted by eisley's manager on the message board at www.eisley.org: The Woosh Sound One of you posted in one of my journal threads (Live from LA) not to let Jerry Finn push the freaking "woosh" button on Eisley's record. He and thousands of seriously disgruntled Morrissey fans hated the "woosh" sound on one of the songs on the new, long awaited (7 years) solo record song. We asked Jerry today about it. He said, "It wasn't my idea, I hated it and didn't want it on the record, but Morrissey insisted". Fans blame Jerry while Morrissey won't take the bullet...claiming, "producing is a lonely job". There you have it: the scoop, right here on Eisley's forum. Spread the word. Jerry Finn should be vindicated. He hated the "woosh". However, Jerry adds, in the end, this record looks like it will out sell any of the various Smith's records. There will be no "whoosh" on Eisley's record. Jerry claims "it's cheesy". Besides, any "woosh" sounds would have come from Rob Schnapf...and Rob is incapable of producing cheese. Bd

My take on it was that in and of itself, the sound effect is dated, like something out of the disco era -- nobody would touch it now. But, in the context of being Morrissey's comeback single and the sonic buildup of the song I thought it was cool -- somehow right. Transcending its origins of cheese...

Morrissey has been releasing record with sound effects on them since the Smiths, it's not anything new.

Personally I think Finn's production has done him a lot of good. I thought it would be awful but no I was wrong.
What's wrong with 'woosh' anyway- is that as in sea or wind or what???
I used to love to muck around with the 'noise' setting on my Roland SH-101... I need to start playing with it again. Whoops, I've drifted off topic.
Sorry.

I think Boss sells something called the Kaos pad which will make what most of you refer to as a whoosh sound.
Ebay sells these pads pretty cheap...

Indeed, there are some "woosh sounds" in the songs. Just listen to Morning Star Ship.
Moz is just a fan.

Now that Jerry Finn is saying that Morrissey himself elected to keep it - well, I still hate it. An unnecessary and, yes, cheesy, addition to a decent enough song. Every time I hear it I cringe. It serves no purpose whatsoever - the crescendo of the music has already been built by then and it adds nothing at all - indeed, detracts in my opinion. Previous sound effects (the buzzsaw on 'Speedway', the 'Hindley laugh' on 'Suffer Little Children', the pub chatter on 'Spring Heeled Jim', the rain on 'Well I Wonder') have been used well and contributed to/enhanced the track. This does not, and it's awful.
The only good thing that may come of this is Jerry Finn being banished and NOT working with Morrissey on his next album. Let's have someone who doesn't make things so excessively polished and smooth next time.

one of the most inspired uses of a whoosh! (Score:1, Interesting)
When I first heard it, I thought it had been played over the track by the radio station, as they prepared to introduce the next song, but a couple of listens later, I think the whoosh was actually quite an inspired addition to the song. It signals the slight change in rhythm towards the end of IBEH, going from spiralling guitars to an almost reversed percussion beat and a circular guitar riff. It adds a touch of drama.
Now I'd like to see Morrissey take a radical direction and make greater use of sound effects in his records. Although the songwriting isn't great on "Hail to the Thief," the way radiohead manage to use traditional instruments such as guitar and keyboards and make them sound so unconventional is very exciting. When the songwriting is at a better standard as it was on "OK Computer" and "The Bends" Radiohead's arrangements are sublime. Morrissey's voice with a slightly more unhinged, slightly more expansive sound would be extraordinary. "You are the Quarry" is a fantastic album, but I can't see how much further he can take that particular sound. Whether this means he needs some new musicians or just a radical producer I don't know.
Can you aimgine how "Come Back To camden" would have sounded with the type of arrangement you can hear on "Fake Plastic Trees" or "Sail us to the Moon?"
