In the case of an inhomogeneous fluids (that is, a fluid where at least one of the background quantities is not constant) the MHD waves lose their defining nature and get mixed properties. In some setups, such as the axisymmetric waves in a straight cylinder with a circular basis (one of the simplest

In other words, the two pressure perturbations reinforce one another in the fast mode, but oppose one another in the slow mode.
