I'm probably the nerdiest music theory guy on here so let me say this:
Any time signature can sound like just about any other because there is
nothing that says you've got to put the kick drum sound on the first
downbeat or any of the downbeats for that matter.
If you superimpose nothing but quarter note triplets into a 4/4 pattern, its
gonna sound like 3/4.
Then again, you don't even have to incorporate a traditional time pattern.
Exhibit A: Autechre's "Rpeg" or many things from Lp5 or the Anti-Ep.
Don't make me explain coupled duplets or triplets...
quoted 4 lines to be a total music nerd...
