Similar in concept is the Risset rhythm (it's briefly alluded to in the article), where the tempo of the rhythm seems to constantly speed up or slow down.
The song "Fold4, Wrap5" by Autechre is a cool example. It's not hard to see how it works, but it's a delightful effect regardless. Each bar has a point at which the beat shifts to a double-time version of itself, while the tempo of the track constantly decreases so that the double-time rhythm transitions back to the original rhythm.
