45:33 is a composition by LCD Soundsystem. Commissioned by Nike, 45:33: Nike Original Run is an original work initially available exclusively at Nike Music Store on itunes. A re-release on CD and vinyl was issued by Dfa Records on November 12, 2007.

The publicity for 45:33 described it as being designed to accompany jogging workouts, “to reward and push at good intervals of a run.” An early statement detailed that the composition had been refined after several runs on the treadmill. James Murphy later admitted that this was a complete lie on his part and that he does not actually jog. He stated that he wanted to make a long-form record like E2-E4 by Manuel Göttsching and used the opportunity provided by Nike to do it. The artwork of 45:33 also resembles that of Göttsching’s work.

Parts of this 45:33 were later used on the album Sound Of Silver, in particular the track

Someone Great, which appears on 45:33 as an instrumental section later distinguished as part III. The complete track was also released for registered Nike+ users in late March 2007 as a gift of appreciation when Nike+ logged its 10 millionth mile. The composition was available to be sold by Nike via iTunes for six months. DFA Records announced that 45:33 would be re-released on November 12, 2007.

Although the composition is titled 45:33, “the RPMs of records”, the actual length is slightly longer. By comparison, the Daft Punk album Alive 1997 consists of one track 45 minutes and 33 seconds in length. The title of the album may be a play on the name of the John Cage work, 4’33”.

Was this before or after he created his album? Most of it sounds like his singles just... put together in a cool way?

this is a pretty cool concept - Nike (I think) commissioned him to make an album you'd listen to while jogging, and this is the result
