[Harrington] performs in a spare, electric-folk sort of style spawned from a wide variety of influences, and has penned some clever lyrics to go with it. A lot of his stuff is very reminiscent of early Rheostatics, though he can change direction at a moment's notice. "Beg to Differ", for instance, sounds pretty darned close to Peter Murphy... -- Pulse Niagara.. Feb. 1994 Peter Murphy planted his tongue firmly in cheek, borrowed a bit of Frank Zappa's sharp wit, changed his name to Mark Harrington, and released Capricorn Flakes. Not only is the album great to listen to, but its sharp sense of humour -- generally mocking the pomposity of a lot of 'arty' musicians (including himself at times) -- never fails to evoke a chuckle from me. -- Chaos Review. Feb. 1994 Q: Who the hell is Mark Harrington and why the hell do I want to write an entire article on him?

[and] clever, dry lyricist. Credit to him for designing his own tongue-in-cheek CD packaging and for successfully self-producing his work. -- Chart. June 1993 ...a song called Wear Black from the Capricorn Flakes CD.

March 1989
