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. ("You feel me breathe" on Echoplex vscom raw WAV format] via [[remix.nin. "I can hear it breathe")com]].

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" made its live debut during the [[2008/07/19 Los Angeles, CA|dress rehearsal show]] of the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]] and was performed on the encore of every show. It was also 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, an effect that wasn't without technical difficulties - breaking or malfunctioning at several concerts. During the [[Tension 2013 Tour]], this song featured backing vocals by [[Lisa Fischer]] and [[Sharlotte Gibson]]. "Echoplex" has yet to be not been performed livesince [[2014/02/28 Tokyo, Japan|February 28, 2014]].
