Emax

The sound in"Wild Boys" is definitely Nick's Fairlight CMI. 

There is a bank for the Emax called Loon Garden (ZD733). It has a couple of sounds 
that are exactly like what you describe. I believe it's a sample of a bottle flute or a bottle 
being blown into like a flute.

The Fairlight sound is called "Swanee: a breathy woodwind/panpipe sound "

You can get the Fairlight bank here: http://www.hollowsun.com/vintage/fairlight/

I'm not sure if there is a place to download the Emax bank.
