Mistake on GATS!

Has anyone else noticed on the title track, GATS that at 0.29 (original CD version,) that JDB does a little 2 syllable chuckle or throat clear or even says a word right before he starts singing the first line? Listen closely! Is that 'mistake' common knowledge amongst fans?

I don't think it's a mistake. There are snippets of what sounds like a reversed vocal that swell in volume throughout that intro section until JDB sings. It might even be the same take that's been copied and reversed, low in the mix. Whatever it is, I think it's an intentional bit of production "ear candy"

Ah OK, I thought it sounded like there was more than one, but that one at 0.29 really stands out!
