LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy was commissioned by Nike to write "45:33:00" as a piece of exercise music for part of their Original Run series. Murphy composed the track as a continuous piece tailored to the length and variation of a standard workout. In addition to its novelty as a concept, "45:33:00" is a brilliantly arranged and compulsively listenable track spilling over with the burbling, kinetic energy and gleaming production flourishes typical of LCD Soundsystem's work.
Originally available only as an iTunes exclusive, the track was released on CD in late 2007. Complex, fun, and meticulously put together, "45:33:00" sounds even better pumping from a home stereo than it does through an iPod while jogging. Three bonus tracks, previously unavailable in the U.S., round out the package, and make it a must for LCD Soundsystem fans.
