Question for EBTG fans.....

Something that’s been bugging me is that about 30 seconds into the track “Low tide of the night” from Tempermental by Everything but the Girl is a faint snap/crackle/pop noise that my brain associates with stylus noise, but the recording I am listening to is digital (Tidal).  What am I hearing?  Is it noise from the recording, if so is it there intentionally?  

System is PS Audio dac -> BAT VK-55 -> Thiel CS 2.3s.

scott_w2 - small world - I grew up in Mpls and most of my best live music memories are from the 80s and early 90s at First Ave, 7th St, Uptown Bar, U of MN, and more.  The RL Burnside recommendation has me digging through his discography, and although I am not a huge blues fan, I can attest to the "frighten most stereos into submission" comment.  This man makes some powerfully energetic music!

acresverde, thanks for opening a door for me!

Big fan of EBTG here. I believe that it is an effect added to the recording.
Happy Listening!

@thosb I've seen more shows at The Cedar than anywhere else. Lotsa African bands in particular play it. It's on the west bank U of M. I've seen Tinariwen there 3x. Now THERE'S a hypnotic band live or recorded. Check them out!
