The sound of Hogwash has been classified as progressive rock,[1] and it draws from elements of psychedelic music, space rock and blues.[1]
Tony McPhee was one of the earliest rock guitarists to experiment with guitar controlled synthesis and Oberheim/Maestro ring modulators. On this album he used a Hagström guitar synthesizer, a simple controller for an ARP 2600. The Hagstrom was monophonic and had resistors soldered on at each fret to create a monophonic control voltage bus and trigger gate. This allowed the guitar sound to be doubled, (but not bent by string pulls) and also required the analog synth to hold its tuning over the entire range.[citation needed] The album closes with a tribute to John Lee Hooker.
