Of the two songs side by side, one is for the floor and the other closes the album.

"Come with Us / The Test" came out in 2002 and reached No. 14 in the UK.3 "Come with Us" was reworked by Fatboy Slim for the single.5 "The Test" is sung by the Verve's Richard Ashcroft and closes Come with Us. The video is by Dom and Nic.46

"The Test" uses part of C. Niemen's improvisation on "Pielgrzym".4

Pitchfork's Plagenhoef wrote at the time that next to it, "Star Guitar" might as well be Beethoven's Ninth.7

Putting a song likely to divide opinion at the end of the album. I see resolve in that choice. The last song is the one that stays longest in the ears of whoever reaches it.
