A few years ago I was in Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France, and saw those escalators.  I thought, "Oh! oh! Where have I seen those before?"  I haven't given it any thought again until now.  Mystery solved!

never had a clue where those escalators were from til now

Yes sir that is one great one, so is the music inside the cover, one of my favorite bands for sure.

King Crimson's Discipline I stared at for quite a while.

King Crimson's Discipline I stared at for quite a while.

and I'm assuming this was a Frazetta(sp?).

Nope. Not Frazetta.  That's a Celtic knot--and apparently KC used it without knowing it was copyrighted.  Newer releases of the album have a different version of the knot.

Yesterday I recounted my brief--but ever so meaningful--face-to-face encounter with Robert Fripp when they toured for this album.  It's here, if you missed it.
