Also Eno's table is different and there are shelves which I think Samaras's room lacks. I used to think that this was a room in Eno's house but they may have constructed it solely for the album shoot. Eno’s room seems smaller (maybe, it’s hard to tell).

great find. I’d say it could even be the same mirrored room?

I've always assumed it was this which gave Eno the idea for his own version: http://www.albrightknox.org/ArtStart/Samaras_l.html And Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has produced a similar range of works, especially her 'Infinity Mirror Room—Love Forever' whose first version was also 1966.

He did a piece in 2004 called "Total Reflected Abstraction" based on the idea developed by Isamu Noguchi and Buckminster Fuller. Here is a good <a href="http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/mcelheny/clip2.html" rel="nofollow">interview</a> and some nice <a href="http://www.andrearosengallery.com/artists/josiah-mcelheny/" rel="nofollow">images</a>.

I went to college with Tyondai and watched him play all over campus (including his senior show) and have to say that he clearly pay homage to Eno & Fripp with his looping styles, especially this album! Something doesn't seem to add up. That's not to say the music itself doesn't deserve respect. It's one of my fave albums of the year, simply unique and tight.

I could be wrong I'm reading this off a friends blog. I just read that if you buy the album on Itunes the artwork associated changes for every track.

You put all that effort into building the set they might as wlel get a double dip and use it for a cover. I actually liked the other non cover shots better. Great track and clip.
