Nearly six months since the iTunes exclusive ended, 45:33 will now be released for the first time on CD and double-vinyl. Also included on the CD will be three tracks previously only available in the UK.
45:33 was originally recorded by James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) as a continuous, album-length disco symphony. Commissioned by Nike for their Nike + Original Run series, it proved a massive success, both commercially and critically. No longer just for runners, 45:33 will be a must have release for athletes, DJ's, and music fans alike.

The song is the result of James Murphy's desire to create a piece of music that is outside the typical commercial constraints. 45:33 is a refreshing audio adventure that is complete and fulfilling - taking the listener through a dynamic range of tempos and rhythms, all the while maintaining the essence of an LCD Soundsystem recording. Murphy explained, "This appealed to me because it was so anathematic to what you're typically asked to do as an artist - make easily digestible lumps of music for albums, radio, or whatever."
In the spirit of 45:33, bonus track "Freak Out / Starry Eyes" is an epic twelve-and-a-half minutes of like-minded dance floor euphoria. The song begins with soulful disco-funk, and then morphs into a robotic groove that effortlessly manages the trick of sounding both old and new at the same time. Murphy and DFA Studio Engineer Eric Broucek collaborate on the hypnotically frantic club track "North American Scum" (Onastic Dub Remix). Lastly, the album includes "Hippie Priest Bum-Out," previously available only as a 7" b-side, which could have easily have been a lost staple from either the Paradise Garage or the Mudd Club.
After an extremely successful run with his latest release, Sound of Silver, mixing a number of stellar albums and singles (Prinzhorn Dance School, Holy Ghost!), as well as continuing to help run the thriving DFA Records, this past year proved to be a creative zenith. With the upcoming release of 45:33, James Murphy has established himself as a premiere dynamic force in the changing tide of the music industry.
