"The Test" comes from Come With Us, the Chemical Brothers' fourth album, released in January 2002, and it hands the lead vocal to a guest: Richard Ashcroft, late of the Verve. He's one of two outside voices on the album, Beth Orton being the other, and he shares the writing credit with Tom Rowlands, Ed Simons and Czesław Niemen.
Come With Us followed Dig Your Own Hole and Surrender, the pair of records that had turned the duo into an international draw, and it arrived after a long stretch on the road: a world tour that began in 1999 and ran into the summer of 2000, taking in festivals such as Glastonbury and Creamfields. Virgin and Freestyle Dust released it in Britain, Astralwerks and Ultra in America.
