'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,
is a brilliantly arranged and compulsively listenable track spilling over with the burbling, kinetic energy and gleaming production flourishes typical of
's work. Originally available only digitally, the track was released on CD in late 2007. Complex, fun, and meticulously put together,
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
fans.
