About This Track

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, .

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”.

    When I listen to this I feel a bit guilty that I'm not out on the country roads busting a gut on a wet Tuesday afternoon. Instead of sitting in bed eating crisps. [2]

    The fifth track after the really space-discoey chorus-girls'd bit about 30 minutes in with the rubber-band bass groove makes me want to throw up.

    haha on my album it's cut up into different tracks. I'm making a promise to myself that I'm going to finish the whole thing.

    I like this song and it has it's place but 45:33 perhaps a bit much when they take one of the all time CLASSICS by "Iron Butterfly"; IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA and hack it from the original 1968 version of 17:05 down to the 1995 version of 2:53 - if there evere was a misjustice on LFM, that's it right there.
