     Har har ;)  No, what I heard was neither rhythmic, nor monotone.
Would have been better if it was.  That bit during the Kashmir riff
was OK.  It was the "singing" during some following quiet section
where some no hoper, maybe not the same guy, was conveying something
about closing his eyes.
     And I though _I_ couldn't sing ...
