=== The World of Underworld and ''Drift''=== On 21 May 2018, Underworld announced a new project called the World of Underworld.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://underworldlive.com/news/2018/05/05/world-of-underworld/|title=World of Underworld|date=5 May 2018|website=Underworldlive.com}}</ref> Part of the project involves reflecting on and sometimes reimagining their nearly 30 year body of work. But it also serves as an outlet for experimentation, new releases, and spontaneous creativity. The first new song released as part of the World of Underworld, "Brilliant Yes That Would Be", was recorded and mixed just days before it was released. Another new song, "Bells & Circles", was a collaboration with [[Iggy Pop]] that came out of sessions recorded a couple years earlier for possible inclusion on the ''T2 Trainspotting'' soundtrack.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://underworldlive.com/news/2018/06/22/teatime-dub-encounters-ep/|title= Teatime Dub Encounters EP|website=Underworldlive.com|date=22 June 2018|access-date=15 February 2019}}</ref> The remaining songs from that collaboration formed a joint four-track EP ''[[Teatime Dub Encounters]]'', released on 27 July 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://store.underworldlive.com/cart/product.php?id=38457|title=Underworld & Iggy Pop β Teatime Dub Encounters clear LP β TM Stores|website=Store.underworldlive.com|access-date=22 June 2018}}</ref> On 1 November 2018, Underworld started a year-long experimental music-and-video project named ''[[Drift (Underworld project)|Drift]]'', which aimed to release the band's new and previously unreleased material on a weekly basis.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://underworldlive.com/news/2018/11/01/drift-series-launched/|title= DRIFT series launched |website=Underworldlive.com|access-date=15 February 2019|date=1 November 2018}}</ref> The full album titled ''[[Drift (Underworld project)#Drift Series 1|Drift Series 1]]'' was released on 1 November 2019, and concluded the band's 52 week ''Drift'' project.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://underworldlive.com/drift-songs/ |title=UNDERWORLD β DRIFT SONGS|date=21 May 2019 |website=Underworldlive.com |access-date=21 May 2019}}</ref> ''Drift Series 1'' received critical acclaim. On [[Metacritic]], a review aggregator that assigns a [[Standard score|normalised]] rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 86, based on 6 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".<ref>{{Citation|title=DRIFT Series 1 [Box Set] by Underworld|url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/drift-series-1-box-set/underworld|website=Metacritic.com|language=en|access-date=10 November 2019}}</ref>
