Let's talk drums

Which Prince song contains his best/most creative use of the Linn drum machine?

Look no further than the 1999 album cool

That's one of my favorite features of 1999, Little Red Corvette and Automatic. It also MAKES the song "Something in the Water (Does not Compute)."
That's one of those things Prince became infamous for, minimalistic tracks with Linn-drum that work perfectly.

cloud9 The instant I heard Gold’s first note, it became Prince’s mark on my soul: a tattoo I wear with pride.
mushy Prince is Dreamy, gives my Life that Pop and 2 the industry, he’s Royalty. cool

I was thinking 'Girl' or 'If I was Your Girlfriend', although I'm not entirely sure if they used the Linn. Also, 'SOTT' has a beat that is in my veins it's so funky!
