}}[[Image:Echoplex.jpg|thumb|Artwork accompanying the MP3 file]]'''"Echoplex"''' is a song by [[Nine Inch Nails]] first released online via Facebook on May 2, 2008. It is the fifth track on the album ''[[The Slip]]'', 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.
The bridge to the coda of the song features wind synthesizers similar to the one used in the introduction of "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]," but do not appear to be the same sound. ''Echoplex'' is also the name of a specific brand of reverb units. [[Multitracks]] for this song (and all others from ''The Slip'') were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV format] via [[remix.nin.com]].

"Echoplex" was performed on made its live debut during the encore of every [[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, Reznor 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 not been performed since [[2014/02/28 Tokyo, Japan|February 28, 2014]].
