e-lux[A] is the sole studio album by American band Human Waste Project. After signing to Hollywood Records in June 1996, Human Waste Project set about recording an album with producer Ross Robinson. Stylistically, e-lux was inspired by horror movies and has been described as nu metal, alternative metal and alternative rock. The album's original title was "Electralux", but was changed to "e-lux" due to copyright infringement.

e-lux had a troubled development, and the album was delayed multiple times from its planned March 1997 release date due to record company problems to May and June 10, before eventually being released on September 30, 1997. e-lux was met with extremely positive reviews. The album was largely acclaimed by European publications, and as a result the album was eventually issued there in March 1998. While the album did not chart, the album's lone single, "Powerstrip", reached number 85 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]

Human Waste Project toured heavily in support of e-lux. In April 1998, the band was dropped from Hollywood Records; however, they were still able to keep touring thanks to a supporting tour with Coal Chamber, which helped them fund an appearance at Ozzfest in June 1998. Following this, the band played their last show on July 8, 1998 and subsequently disbanded.[2]
