    I think it went to business in'74, but I'm not sure if they had the tubes thing back then.

    I googled Charles De Gaulle airport escalators and this is one of the images that came up:

    It does look like Steve Harley in the foreground; not technically a band member, but he does sing on the album.

    Actually, I always thought it looked like John Cleese. But I didn't know (or forgot) that Harley sings on the album. Cool tidbit there!

    Probably a coincidence, but the new M.I.A. CD looks awfully familiar...

    Yes...it blew me away in 1984 as I was flying out of Paris at the end of a Europe vacation! My girlfriend wasn't as impressed......we did ride the tubes......had 6 hours to kill as we bumped ourselves off our flight.

    Wasn't the cover of Ian Hunter's first solo album based on one of MC Escher's drawings?

    Edit: Hunter cover

    And there's an album of Luciano Berio's music called Many More Voices, which also uses the Escher piece.

    Storm did not do the Dream Theater cover that you linked. Hugh Syme did.

    That makes sense, since Dream Theater always kinda struck me as Rush Jr.

    that statement is a head scratcher. To me, DT is like a prog metal version of Yes.

    Well, I was being a bit hyperbolic. Certainly, Portnoy plays like Moving Pictures is the only record he's ever heard in his life. At least he does in Dream Theater, anyway. I know in some of the other projects he plays in, he manages to sound like he's trying to "Out Peart" Neil.
