This was the first song I thought of as well. When I tell people I play
percussion in a band 70% will reply "Do you play the triangle?" Most people
think of it being hit once every 15 minutes in an orchestral context but
Expansions shows how funky you can get with a bit of looped metal.
Omar's "There's nothing like this" has a nice little triangle rhythm on it
too. You don't spot it normally but when you do it gets right into your
head.

"Expansions" by Lonnie Liston Smith .... opens with the triangle.... been
sampled to death ....
For such a simple instrument, getting a nice "groove" out of it is a real
accomplishment.... my .02
