'45:33' is LCD Soundsystem's 2006 album commissioned by Nike as part of it's iTunes-only 'Original Run' series. Publicity for the 45 minute disco track described it as being designed to accompany jogging workouts, "to reward and push at good intervals of a run." An early statement said 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, specifically the track "Someone Great", which appears on "45:33" as an instrumental, later distinguished as track 3.
