The title directly translates of The Spirit of the Staircase or Staircase Wit and refers to the belated riposte one might come up with after an argument or debate has run its course.

Reviews of the album have been generally positive.
An exhibition of work by one of Germanys most innovative contemporary artists, Thomas Demand, opens to the public at the Irish Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday 28 February 2007.
LEsprit dEscalier presents an overview of Demands recent work and comprises 24 large-scale photographic pieces, plus a new screening device, designed by Caruso St. John Architects, London, specially for this exhibition at IMMA to show the work Rolltreppe (Escalator), 2000.
The intriguing title of the exhibition, LEsprit dEscalier, derives from the French phrase which literally means wit of the staircase and refers to the regret one feels after missing an opportunity to deliver a witty comeback or parting shot.
