About
"45:33" is a composition by American rock band LCD Soundsystem, released digitally on October 17, 2006. Commissioned by Nike, New York-based creative lifestyle marketing and public relations agency Cornerstone helped the music efforts and coordinated the track. The original work was 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. An eight track remix CD entitled 45:33 Remixes was released September 2009. "45:33" was re-released as a limited edition white-label vinyl on May 26, 2015. Background 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 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. The artwork of "45:33" also resembles that of Göttsching's work.

Parts of "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 track 3. 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", a reference to the two most common speeds, in RPM, of vinyl records, the actual length is slightly longer. For the last series of concerts at Terminal 5 and Madison Square Garden, LCD Soundsystem performed 45:33 in full during the second set (Part 3 was saved until the performance of "Someone Great"). In the place of Part 3, LCD Soundsystem performed Sound of Silver.
