[edit] Overview
It is 20 minutes and 12 seconds long, and completely instrumental. It uses the melody from Avinu Malkeinu, a prayer from the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Apparently, the inspiration for this came from producer Arthur Baker. Steve Albini produced the song. On some editions of the single, (including the Australian and Japanese versions), there are versions of "You Don't Know Jesus" and "New Paths to Helicon, Pt. 1", recorded live at Rothesay Pavilion, Isle of Bute on 14 April 2001.
