 Like previous Pink Floyd albums , The Final Cut used sound effects combined with advances and innovations in audio recording technology . Mason 's contributions were almost entirely limited to recording sound effects for the experimental Holophonic system , an audio processing technique used to add an enhanced three @-@ dimensional effect to the recordings ( The Final Cut is the second album ever to feature this technology ) . The technique is featured on " Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert " , allowing the sound of an explosion to surround the listener . Sound effects from earlier Floyd albums are also evident ; the wind from Meddle is re @-@ used , as are parts of The Dark Side of the Moon , Wish You Were Here , Animals and The Wall .
