Originally appearing as a remix on the Justify My Love CD maxi-single and 12 inch vinyl in 1990, The Beast Within track consists of Madonna reciting various passages from the New Testament’s Book of Revelation. In 2004, the track was reworked by Stuart Price, Madonna’s tour music director (Drowned World, Re-Invention, & Confessions) and album producer (Confessions On A Dance Floor) into the epic prologue of the Re-invention Tour. The galvanizing visual imagery stems from Madonna and Steven Klein’s 2003 visual collaboration exhibition X-STaTIC Pro=CeSS which manifested in various mediums: debuted in early 2003 as art installation exhibit at the Deitch Gallery in NY, a 44-page portfolio spread in the April 2003 W women’s fashion magazine, and a limited 1000 copies 260-page coffee table book.
