[edit] History
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 a complete lie on his part, 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.[3] 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 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.[2]
Although the composition is titled 45:33, "the RPMs of records", the actual length is slightly longer.[1] By comparison, the Daft Punk album Alive 1997 consists of one track 45 minutes and 33 seconds in length. The title also resembles that of the John Cage work 4′33″.
