Style
Mull Historical Society uses various unusual techniques and instruments in its songs. For example, Colin MacIntyre is credited to have played 'Seagulls' and 'Fire Extinguisher' for the song "Gravity", and played 'Beer Kegs' on the song "Death of a Scientist" (which was written about the late David Kelly). The Society's albums frequently sample the sounds of the world - a public announcement from the Glasgow Subway in "Public Service Announcer", and an extract from the shipping forecast in "Final Arrears".
MacIntyre's album art, which varies from plain landscapes to Microsoft Paint drawings, includes 'The Giant Dog With The Wig', an oversize model of a dog with a large comedy blue wig, which came to be a symbol for the band and featured in the video for the song "How 'Bout I Love You More".

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“We think it is the richest prose style we know of.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One never tires of what is well written, style is life! It is the very blood of thought!”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see around them so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future—fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
