Description/Reviews: 

This is what happens when you put 10cc, Bowie, Roxy Music, T. Rex, Pink Floyd, Rundgren, and Yes in a blender and push 'mix well'. 

Blue Cartoon is an unusual hybrid of power pop and progressive rock. Artistically, their sound has always revolved around the constants of well-written songs, strong instrumental arrangements and full vocal harmonies. Yet each musical offering is often dependent on the concept of the current album. The most recent release, 'Are You Getting On?' is an evocation of the classic glam/spacial/progressive/psychedelic recordings of the 70's. The British 70's. But somehow, it all sounds remarkably congruent with their previous works. Maybe the new one is not so much a re-direction... as it is a continuing evolution.
