Weird Effects?

[FourEyesRock]

How do these engineers make such crazy yet great effects at the beginningor during songs? Take Rx Bandits for instance. Thier new cd, The Resignation, is loaded with odd effects and such. How do you make these things? What plug-ins would you use? Anyone have any signature effects?

for those of us who don't listen to the Rx Bandits, you're going to have to elaborate on your description of the sounds.... or provide some audio samples to listen to.
