In 1999, the band released "Vision Creation Newsun" in Japan. This album saw an evolution in their sound, combining the evolving space rock themes explored in their "Super Roots" EPs and preceding album "Super æ" with "a much more earthly, primal, primitively worshipful inspiration". It features psychedelic soundscaping and "cosmic synths", complex tribal drumming, "cathartic celebrations of noise", and Eye's unique power electronic and turntabalistic stylings. The album is often considered the band's greatest achievement thus far, and has been described by critics as blending the "manic, high-speed, cut-up form punk rock" of their earlier albums with a new sound that is "just as intense and exhilarating, but more beautiful and more expansive".
