5:33 was originally recorded by James Murphy as a continuous album-length disco symphony. Commissioned by Nike for their Original Run series, it was the second in the series and proved a massive success, both critically and commercially. It is the result of Murphy's desire to create a piece of music outside the typical commercial constraints. 45:33 is a refreshing audio creation, complete and fulfilling, moving through a dynamic range of tempos and rhythms, all the while maintaining the essence of an LCD Soundsystem recording. 

 So, you get two minutes of warm up music, which sounds like some late 60s electronic synth experiment. This then segues into the simple hand clap and piano opening to track two, which builds into a great disco song, complete with soulful vocals. Next up there's an instrumental of LCD's "Someone Great", which works its way into a fantastic piece of cosmic-edged disco-house featuring twisted treated spoken vocals (by Murphy I'm presuming) that almost drop into "Losing My Edge" territory. Track five opens with a horn blast before launching into an energetic post-punk tribal disco-not-disco killer - it's like some lost Pigbag track remixed by Arthur Russell! Lastly, it's warm down time, set to some gently cascading synths and ambient atmospherics. Now, as I get out of breath running for the bus (time; 45 seconds), I can't say whether this would work for jogging to, but as a mix CD, or as individual tracks it's fantastic.
