Thank You! for this perfect answer. Those of us who have "Another Version Of The Truth"
(Did you received your copy yet? If so, any opinions on the subject?) have been given
just enough technical info via the Interviews and Behind The Scenes footage with The Moment Factory to understand the "broad strokes" on how the imagery of the "Lights In The Sky" shows were created... but not *so* much that the absolute magic of those shows has been spoiled in both memories of the shows as well as the "Better Than A Label Could
Ever Do It" fan-created edit and release that was created.
...but in terms of converting the "Year Zero" songs from their mostly electronic state on the album (yes, I still refer to releases as such, as well as giving the stink-eye to people who talk about when so-and-so's release
"drops" 
) to more "fleshed-out" full-band arrangements, I must personally toss you another "Thanks!" for the pick-funk bassline created for "God Given" that fits the song as perfectly as skinny-leg jeans fit ill-fed Emo kids.
That was my "Song To Learn" a few weeks back and it managed to be both a challenge (I'm mostly a fingerstyle guy who's attempting to regain some of the pick skills that I had back in my \m/etal days) as well as a huge amount of fun with the movement, note & timing choices in your line. Hand to heart, your choices in creating that line should be taught to Bassists in music schools as the
perfect example of "The Balance Between Under-and-Overplaying". Simply perfection...
