They happened to be recording Endgame on one of the days I was lucky enough to visit the studio and the origins of the "who-hoo"
sound was Youth doing a bendy high-note thing on his Vox Cheetah V267. I was quite surprised when the finished article had a more
vocal sound on it but I agree it does hark back to Revelations/Fire Dances days when there were a lot of revelrous/celebratory
"whoos" and suchlike scattered around the songs.
 
I'm very much in the pro-Endgame camp. A gloriously catchy stomp and gleeful doom-mongering in the great KJ tradition. Love the
lyrics. The only song I struggled with is This World Hell but that's grown on me, too. Best album since Extremities for me and in my
top five. The new songs are excellent live as well.

Interesting.  I always thought it was Youth doing a harmonic tap n' bend note on bass, much like a similar thing going on at the
beginning of the original studio version of Wardance.

I'm also in the camp that loves Endgames.  The only tunes I don't really care for are Raven King and Honor The Fire.  Raven King
sounds like KJ doing latter day U2.  I too rank this album up in their top 5 best.
