    "45:33" is a six-part composition by American

    studio album on October 17, 2006, as part of the Nike+ Original Run series. Initially, it was available exclusively through the Nike Music Store on iTunes.[1] New York–based creative lifestyle marketing and public relations agency Cornerstone helped the musical efforts and coordinated the track.[2] A CD re-release with three bonus tracks was issued by DFA Records on November 12, 2007, with the "45:33" composition also receiving a vinyl release.[3] An eight track remix CD entitled 45:33 Remixes
    was released September 2009.

    Background and composition

    The composition was recorded between July and September 2006 at DFA Studios in New York City.[4] 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.[1] James Murphy later admitted that this was entirely a 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 so.[5] The artwork of "45:33" also resembles that of Göttsching's work.[6]

    Parts of "45:33" were later used on the album

    progressive electronic,[7] disco,[8] funk,[9] and synth-pop.[9]

    For the last series of concerts at Terminal 5 and Madison Square Garden, LCD Soundsystem performed "45:33" in full during the second set, with "Sound of Silver" replacing Part 3. Part 3 was saved until their performance of "Someone Great".[10] On the digital release of the concert, the 45:33 tracks were titled: "45:33 Intro", "You Can't Hide / Shame On You", "Out In Space" and "Ships Talking".
