It is the fifth track on the album ''[[The Slip]]'', but and is also included on the promotional [[Lights In The Sky Tour|2008 tour]] EP, ''[[Lights In The Sky (Seed)|Lights In The Sky]]''.

The lyrics suggest a scenario where someone has been in solitary confinement for too long, driving him or her, to insanity, where "you will never ever get to me in here."Another possible scenario is a direct link between the lyrics present on this song and "[[Demon Seed]]" ("You feel me breathe" on "Echoplex" vs. "I can hear it breathe"). They could also be extremely literal, referring to the solitude of wherever frontman [[Trent Reznor]] comes up with his music.

Another possible scenario is a direct link between The bridge to the coda of the song features wind synthesizers similar to the one used in the lyrics present on this introduction of "[[Wish (song and )|Wish]]," but do not appear to be the same sound. ''Echoplex''is also the name of a specific brand of reverb units. [[Demon SeedMultitracks]]for this song (and all others from ''The Slip'') were released in [http://remix.nin.

This version of the song was released online via [[nin.com]] and PitchforkTV. It was filmed and recorded in the band's rehearsal space in mid 2008 and directed by [[Rob Sheridan]]. [[Josh Freese ]] uses a touch-screen computer Jazzmutant Lemur to create the opening drum loop before joining in himself with a different rhythm on top of the loop for the second verse. It also features on ''The Slip, '' on a DVD of rehearsal footage.

"Echoplex" was performed live on the encore of every show of the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]], and was frequently used in the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]]. During the Lights In The Sky Tour, Josh Freese used a large touch screen at the back of the stage to simulate a drum machine to play the song's recognisable beat. During the [[Tension 2013 Tour]], this song featured backing vocals by [[Lisa Fischer]] and [[Sharlotte Gibson]].

Near the end of this speech, he jokingly clarified with an inviting statement to the audience that although he wouldn't harm the troublesome person himself, he wouldn't "be responsible for what happens, Wish" and should happen, to the motherf*****". Additional technical difficulties that occurred during the show were explained as having been attributed to a missing video tech crew member, giving the band no choice but to Echoplex"wing it" with the video equipment.
