Their sixth album, Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night , was released in September 1999. It was co-produced by McEntire and Jim O’Rourke , and was recorded with their new bassist, Simon Johns. The album received middling reviews from critics and peaked at number 154 on the Billboard 200. An unsigned NME review said that “this record has far more in common with bad jazz and progressive rock than any experimental art-rock tradition.” In a 1999 article of Washington Post , Mark Jenkins asked Gane about the album’s apparent lack of guitars; Gane responded, “There’s a lot less upfront, distorted guitar … But it’s still quite guitar-based music. Every single track has a guitar on it.” Pitchfork also left a negative review.
