=== ''Anthology,'' the Olympics and solo projects === In November 2011, Underworld announced two new compilations, ''A Collection'' and ''1992β2012 Anthology''. ''A Collection'' features many of the band's biggest tracks alongside recent collaborations with High Contrast featuring [[TiΓ«sto]] & Underworld ("The First Note Is Silent"), Mark Knight & D. Ramirez ("Downpipe") and [[Brian Eno]] ("Beebop Hurry"). ''1992β2012 Anthology'' is a 3-disc set and is a refreshed and revisited version of ''1992β2002'' with more material, unreleased tracks and rarities to go some way to completing the picture of the first two decades of Underworld. In December 2011, Underworld were chosen to direct the music for the [[2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony|opening ceremony]] of the [[2012 Summer Olympics]], reprising their partnership with filmmaker and ceremony director [[Danny Boyle]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Hanna |first=Laurie |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/music/2011/12/07/underworld-to-create-london-2012-opening-ceremony-music-115875-23616597/ |title=Underworld to create London 2012 opening ceremony music β Mirror Online |website=Mirror.co.uk |date=7 December 2011 |access-date=24 April 2014}}</ref> The band also contributed two original tracks for the opening ceremony: "[[And I Will Kiss]]" (featuring [[Evelyn Glennie|Dame Evelyn Glennie]] with the Pandemonium Drummers) and "[[Caliban's Dream]]" in collaboration with the Dockhead Choir, [[Evelyn Glennie|Dame Evelyn Glennie]], [[Only Men Aloud]], Elizabeth Roberts, Esme Smith (band member Rick Smith's daughter<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dunmowbroadcast.co.uk/news/felsted_student_in_gig_of_her_life_at_london_2012_opening_ceremony_1_1469350 |title=Felsted student in gig of her life at London 2012 opening ceremony β News |date=2 August 2012 |publisher=Dunmow Broadcast |access-date=24 April 2014}}</ref>) and [[Alex Trimble]].
