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

I guess Insane In The Brain might count?

two months pass...

"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 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?
