Reading CRT's review, he describes the tracks well.

Silverside has always affected me uniquely. To my ears it has no menace and
doom. It explores resolving a flat nine chord to major, cycling between
dissonance and harmony.

I don't remember this seeming as revolutionary as Charles credits it with
being. They were on their own thing, but in the context of the time they
weren't far from what The Black Dog or Aphex Twin were doing.  They didn't
really fall off the map of 90s UK electronica until Tri Repetae.
