Mark Cunningham's book pins the credit (or blame) on Hugh Padgham, Peter
Gabriel and Phil Collins. The track is "Intruder" from Peter Gabriel's
third solo album (melting face cover).
According to the book, Padgham discovered the sound and played it back
to Collins over his headphones. Collins played along with the release of
the noise gate. Gabriel heard it and had Collins record five minutes of
it. Then Gabriel wrote "Intruder" around the drums.
Finally, it was the drum fill halfway through "In The Air Tonight"
from Collin's first solo record that made the sound so popular.
