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.

I saw RL twice in the late 90s. Packed place in Mpls both; called First Avenue (where Purple Rain was filmed). Anyhoots he mad shred each, just burned it down.

His live record 'burnside on burnside' will frighten most stereos into submission. It's just like his live show. Also, Jon Spencer did a savage good remix on record called 'come on in' that's basically frightening.  

His grandson Cedrick is a monster drummer btw (and plays on all RL records in last 30 yrs. Cedrick played at the Treefort festival here in Boise last week, one of 400+ bands. The line to see him went down the block. 
@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!
