Caroline

Caroline Records is a renowned music label that has had an interesting history. Originally established as a European offshoot of Virgin in the 1970s, it was later revived in the 1980s as a distributor and pseudo-indie label under Virgin/EMI. In 2013, Universal Music brought back the brand through Capitol Music Group. Caroline Records serves as a label for various releases bearing the *Caroline* or *Caroline Records* brands, as well as fulfilling distributor and other company roles.

The catalog number formats used by Caroline have varied over time, with prefixes like *CAROL* and *CAR*. It is important to use these numbers exactly as they appear on the release to avoid any confusion. In recent years, Caroline also adopted the standard EMI numbering system alongside their CAROL-prefix numbers.

Similar to Island Records, Caroline has been inconsistent about incorporating the word "Records" into their logos and contact information throughout their history. However, on Discogs it is considered correct to always refer to them as *Caroline Records*, even if "Records" is not present. The oldest logo of Caroline was reintroduced for several new releases in the mid-2010s. While it may be more appropriate to omit "Records" from their name now, there are too many releases associated with this label to make such edits at this point.

Underworld is a UK electronic music act formed by Rick Smith and Karl Hyde in 1987. After their former band disbanded, the duo released two albums of song-oriented funky guitar-based pop. In 1991, they returned with a new track-oriented technoid direction and welcomed DJ Darren Emerson as a new member. Their b-side "Born Slippy NUXX" gained immense popularity after being featured in Danny Boyle's film "Trainspotting" in 1996, becoming an anthem of the late 90s. Emerson left in 2000 to pursue a solo career, and Darren Price took over tour DJ duties before becoming a performing member of Underworld Live in 2005.

Drift Songs marks the conclusion of their hugely ambitious 52-week Drift Series. During that period, music, film and text pieces are created and published every Thursday as part of the band’s on-going, very public recording process; a unique and visionary space Smith and Hyde have created for themselves to exist within. By the end of the Drift series, more new music and film will have been released by Underworld in its one-year duration than in the last fifteen years. Drift Songs expands and enhances a selection of the recordings the duo have released since they began their audio / visual experiment in November 2018.
