I'm confident that's the Emacs internal Lisp interpreter.

You should start the SLIME REPL with "M-x slime" (and you need to
install one of the supported Lisp environments, according to the
package description SBCL, CMUCL, OpenMCL and some versions of CLISP
and Lispworks).

If you are interested to know more, a good introductory book is Peter Seibel's
"Practical Common Lisp": http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/
