Beats / riffs / grooves that chug along in a syncopated way and then go CLANG or SCREECH

Gastr del Sol do this a couple of times on Upgrade & Afterlife. "The Sea Incertain" at ~2:30, "Hello Spiral" at ~8:30.

Does VU's "European Son" count?

highway 61 revisited?

How about kerblunk?

Starts about 1:14 and for most of the rest of the track. I remember reading it is actually a tape loop which is a neat trick to sync up with the sequencer in 1981.

getting warmer for sure !

John Kongos - I'm Dreaming

close but a crucial element in what i'm looking for is something more discordant, or at least jarring: a gentle disruption, a way of lifting the listener out of the groove and then setting them back down in it on the other side. it's about tension and release. the clanging guitar chords in "cissy strut" are a close cousin of what i'm getting at.

another example might be the first few bars of:

At The Drive-In - Rascuache

an analogous phenomenon is in funk and boogie tracks when the beat drops ever so briefly and all the singers go "AAHHHHHH" in unison and then the groove starts again.

don't know why that didn't preview but it's Mike & Rich - Jelly Fish

I guess Insane In The Brain might count?

"insane in the brain" is exactly the sort of thing i'm talking about !

another example of basically the same thing is fatboy slim - "you're not from brighton"

what i'm particularly curious to track down, though, is examples of this happening in instrumental ensembles, i.e. not necessarily a sample. the quasi-atonal clang as relief, a rhythmic figure that punctuates the end of the bar (or ever few bars), adding tension and then releasing as the groove resolves into the downbeat on the following "one"

a close match, perhaps a progenitor:

the seeds - can't seem to make you mind

the remix of Devo's Here to Go that was on the Greatest Hits ends with a car crash and an explosion

I feel with the Bomb Squad influenced examples like "Jump Around" & "Insane In The Brain", there would be some PE songs that meet this criteria, but the songs I'm thinking of consist more sustained noise throughout the bar rather than just at the end of the bar ("Rebel Without A Pause" etc.)

does the intro of bell biv devoe's 'poison' fit this thread?
