Marketing and Release
"Showdown" was first released on 5 January 2009 through various online music stores, including 7digital, Amazon.com, and iTunes. Along with the album version and radio edit of the song, the download bundle included a live recording and several remixes by other artists. The single was later released on a 12" picture disc, containing the album version and Excision remix of "Showdown", on 9 February by Warner Music UK.
The song "Showdown" was featured on In Silico as the opening track. It was the first single from the album not to use the In Silico logo prominently on its cover, although most of the logo can be seen on a bass drum in the cover art. Live versions of the song have appeared on iTunes Live: London Festival '08, as a B-side on "The Other Side", as well as in the single download bundle. It was also featured in the soundtrack of Disney Interactive Studios' off-road racing video game Pure. The track is also featured in the first trailer for Forza Motorsport 3, on the Xbox 360 as well as in the game itself during races, and CSI: NY episode "Green Piece".

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
