Default The Kate Borkowski Topic
Martian's news page lists Seth Lakeman as recording there in 2007. That's the last and only recording artist mentioned, apart from Tori and even her info isn't up to date anymore on there. That would indicate to me it's not doing so well, business-wise. It could be the location, so far off the beaten track (Cornwall is a pig to get to in UK terms), or it could be overpriced or something, but it doesn't look like they get much in the way of high-profile business. I wonder how much debt they ploughed themselves into to build all the extra facilities? It's certainly quite a flash set-up there.
This is from an e-mail alert I received today:

Seattle, WA (WiredPRNews.com) After reaching out to Tori Amos’ mixing engineer Marcel van Limbeek in London, Seattle singer/songwriter, Kate Borkowski, found herself literally staying at Tori Amos’ residence and recording additional vocals and piano (on Tori’s Bosendorfer) at Martian Engineering in Cornwall, England.

Kate masterly wrote all of the tracks on her debut album ‘Beautiful Little Fools’ and dedicates one of the tracks to Tori. ‘Siamroot’, an anagram of Tori Amos’ name, investigates the cyclical nature of a volatile relationship, and represents an almost Absinthian retreat from life into the landscape of Tori’s songs.

With her trademark coiled wild hair and unique, almost eerie vocal style, Kate has created what appears to be a brand new music genre and is generating strong interest within the music industry, both in the USA and internationally.

‘Beautiful Little Fools’ was recorded and engineered at Garey Shelton Productions in Seattle, WA and additional recording and mixing was done by Marcel van Limbeek, between London, UK and Martian Engineering (Cornwall, UK). The album was mastered with care by the legendary Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in New York and includes an impressive list of well-known musicians such as Ben Smith (Heart); Keith Lowe (Fiona Apple); Mac Aladdin (Tori Amos); John Philip Shenale (Tori Amos); Rosemary Banks (Tori Amos); Garey Shelton (Tingstad and Rumbel) and John Morton.

Who is Rosemary Banks?
