Musical equipment and sound
Donovan has been credited with a unique sound and approach to the guitar. Rick Anderson, Allmusic comments: "Tout Le Monde" features what is probably the best six-note guitar solo ever recorded." Donovan cites a combination of traditional blues, classical and electronic music as sources for inspiration on the guitar. In an interview with Amplifier Magazine Donovan states: "The idea is to blend two things together that have no business associating with each other. I enjoy composing on the computer as much as composing with an acoustic instrument. I want to take sounds from the past and help push them into the future."Donovan's songwriting owes much to the sound of Motown. Songs such as "Closer" contain the classic Motown beat. Donovan wrote "Closer" in memory of his father. His father was a huge fan of Diana Ross and The Supremes. Donovan found inspiration in the drum pattern from "Stop! In The Name Of Love
