I appreciate the help, but I'm sorry to say that
it sound to me like
everybody that replied are listening at another sound than the one I'm
talking about. Here's another sniplet from the same record with a
similar effect. This one sound more like filtered noise with resonance,
and I'm more interrested in the first example. This is just to stear
away from the bell-thing:

Anyways here's my breakdown of what is heard on
http://www.atte.dk/download/sound2.ogg
1) Shaker/egg on downbeats
2) Bass
3) Pad
4) Toy piano playing the chords on downbeats
5) synth lead with bender playing melody
6) fender rhodes in the background
7) some kind of percussion, something like hand played snare drumm
8) about 5 seconds (held untill the end of the sample, although barely
audible towards the end) into the sniplet a rising sound, resembling a a
wind chime is heard.
To me is sounds like you're all listening at the toy piano (which is
what it is,
I saw the band live in a small club in copenhagen, same toy piano on
that tune), but I'm talking about sound #8, the "synthethic wind chime"!
Sorry for my poor explanation in the first place, hope that you'll care
to listen again, since my initial interrest in the sound, as expressed
in the original posting, still holds.
And just so straighten that out; I'm not a novice synth tweaker. And I'm
not really interrested in say a sample of the sound to use in my music.
I want to
*understand* how the sound is done.
Before I read all the rest of this rather long thread. I hear two distinct
sounds here. The first is some high pitched bell sound with distinct fast
repeats, either sequenced or caused by some delay effect (could be a bit of
both). The second sounds like a standard filter sweep with the resonance
turned up and square wave modulation applied (sound3). This is more
straightforward to do on an analogue synth with real oscillators. Ring
modulation and subtle detuning could be used to give a more bell-like sound.
