===The Beginning Of The End (Instrumental)===
'''''Running Time: 2:55'''''
This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Reznor through his [[remix.nin.com]] account.
===The Beginning Of The End: Ladytron J-Type Mix===
'''''Running Time: 4:20'''''
This remix can be found on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' More techno-oriented than the album original and containing a dance beat, it also contains some distorted vocals in the verses. This distortion can also be heard in the choruses. By the time the second verse comes in, another synth line joins in, creating a noisier atmosphere. More synths — this time sounding like a choir — join in the chorus. These layers of sound carry the song to the end of the piece. At about 3:36 into the song, a variation of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' motif can be heard ending the song:
