A friend of mine found a very interesting downtempo trip-hop album from 1997 that features a now infamous image for BOC fans:

https://www.discogs.com/master/165247-T ... allel-Life

When he showed me the cover, I just had to buy it. My thoughts are it's very nice and pleasant. Definitely in the same chillout genre as early BOC and Air, though this one is full of whispery female vocals. It's not legendary like Music or Moon Safari, but it's a very solid work from that era of electronic music and man, they don't make em like this anymore.

I wonder if Mike and Marcus know about this album?

Fascinating

"Oh man how has this not been found yet?"
Really strange coincidences :
Damn! Apple Music with the June 9 Release also great find !!!
"Parallel life" are BOC living different lives?
Orange band name with inverted Pioneer Plaque?

Dear Hexagon Fox, Mondaffe and Frindia,

I live for your posts as they definitely add some speculation and intrigue to my friend's find! Many thanks,
Sincerely
Echelon

PS: BOC related or not, it was such a thrill owning an album with the legendary Pioneers Plaque on it! Here's hoping that a BOC one soon follows!

Boards of Canada see this thread, realise the artwork has been used before, and halt the manufacture of their new album while they rethink the cover. 2024 it is…

BoC's version is corrupted by their own symbolism so it does stand apart from anyone else who used it at least.
