'45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Haven't gotten it yet, but plan to shortly...

FYI:

"here are 45 minutes and 33 seconds of body music. The idea, to make a long piece of music built around an arc designed for running, appealed to me because it was so anathematic to what you're typically asked to do as an artist; make easily digestable lumps of music for albums, or the radio, or whatever. I'd been thinking of the records I love in which people made one "song" that took up the entire LP, and realizing that releasing something like this would be a virtual impossibility for me, I became excited when the Nike+ project came along."

To buy this new piece of music by LCD Soundsystem, and for more information, visit iTunes where you'll find it on sale from October 17th 2006.

Re: 45:33
 

yep. it's a bit awesome.

Re: 45:33
 

i thought you were talking about the old stereo mc's song/albumn which is great.

however, this sounds really interestign (although i can't figure out if it is actually lcd soundsystem or not)

Re: 45:33
 

Yep. It is. It's completely different James Murphy, but James nonetheless. I've listened twice now, and am digging it. I'm anxioius to use it like it's meant to be "used". In a work out capacity...

'45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

An original set of music (not unlike what Underworld has done with their RiverRun projects) comissioned by Nike and created under the guise of making tracks that work well for "jogging." It's all quality stuff across the board and a little bit jammier than LCD's usual work, but the first ten minute segment is straight up fantastic disco that should really have it's own 12" release; James Murphy momentarily drops his ear for crossover and finally gets into bed completely with all things Chic, complete with an excellent vocal stab: "Shame on you!"

As for it's genesis as "jogging music" I call bullshit - like most dance music it works fine working for out but the real reason is buried in the official PR for the release: Nike offered LCD cash to create music outside of the normal boundaries of big money publisher/artist relationships. Nike gets some hip cred attached to a new product and LCD gets financing to Yowza Yowza Yowza.

just bought this yesterday.

i wasn't sure if i was going to pick this up, but then i saw the review on pitchforkmedia and gave it a shot. i personally won't be using this mix to go running, but i can say that it is damn good for working in the lab :). worth my $10 as far as i'm concerned.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

I think a bunch of artists are getting deals with nike to create similar sets.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

a lot of people are on and on about different parts of it but as far as i know i was the only one to give most love for the first ten minutes too. after about 11 minutes i just rewind it back to the beginning.

overall i think it's pretty good but too much 'comedown' for home listening.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Is this only avaliable over itunes?

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

yes, it's only available via Itunes and... I started this thread about 4 days ago under the title of45:33 or whatever...

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Re: 45:33
 

I much prefer this thread to Scott's one.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Fuck that other thread, this thread is the BOMB!

I limped back onto the treadmill today with this album. I didn't last 45 minutes and 33 seconds - what the hell is up with that, Nike and LCD Soundsystem!?

It was pretty good. It doesn't at all come across as 'one big song'.

Re: 45:33
 

Man, I'm feeling this thread. This is sooooo good!

I haven't got this yet. Is it only available on iTunes?

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

I loves me the LCD Soundsystem. I'll be getting this as soon as my home computer's back up and running. Or rather, as soon as my home is back up and running. Damn remodeling....think long and hard before you do any remodeling people....:mad: :(

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Ten bucks seems kind of steep.

Re: 45:33
 

i haven't heard it yet...

but just out of curiousity...is it related to 76:14?

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Bleh, kinda bummed it is only available through iTunes but w/e. I'll get it soon. The sample from iTunes was wonderful that's for sure. Although I have mixed feelings to listening to music that is outright retro this seems to be too well done to let it pass by.

Re: 45:33
 

Nah...what I heard is like pure disco.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Yeah, but when you consider most albums nowadays are like 45 mins total for the same price, it's not that bad. Daft Punk's Alive 1997 is roughly the same length and the same price. Don't get me wrong, I was kinda bummed when I saw that too--I was spoiled, I think, by the 2005 DFA Holiday Mix that was on iTunes for a buck. But it is a great mix. The quality will make up for the ten bucks you pay for it (assuming you don't just get it from someone who already bought it).

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

If you like LCD Soundsystem, you will like this. Period.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Well the sample I heard on iTunes was nothing like LCD Soundsystem and it was 110% disco. But it was really really good. That was what I was refering to anyways.

Re: 45:33
 

threads merged :)

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Eh, I wouldn't really call anything past the first 10 minutes or so "disco" per se, but if it is, it's LCD Soundsystem's version of it. It's still very electronic, btw, and rockin.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

AAAAARGH! I've been merged by the stimp. Why has the title of MY thread been integrated into the title of SCOTTS thread? Man talk about seniority.

Anyway, I dont' believe i've ever been the subject of a "favorite thread" well not me but "my" thread.

Wait.

Weren't we talking about LCD Soundsystem?

This is so good. It's not Yeah, or Losing my Edge. It's bits of sublime. IT's bits of AssShaking. It's bits of complexity. It's space Disco.

buy it. listen to it. love it. you will. oh yes. you will.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

i think you got the credit for 'your thread' and he used the full name cause it passed far more info along than the other one

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

semi-related, there's a Fall 2006 radio mix by tim sweeney up on the dfa site:

yay for he plays rez

hey
your love away from me
you can't hide
hey

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

man, the first 10 minutes of this is SO SO SO amazing. i haven't really paid attention to the whole thing yet, but man oh mon is the first 'track' so brilliant...

i gotta say that it does seem a bit mixed rather than one 45 minute 'movement'. compared to kiteless/../... where you can barely tell the tracks change, cause it's so gradual...

anyhow, it is great

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

methinks there's a trend with releasing digital tracks (one long track with subtracks) going on here...

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Where UW leads, the world follows! :D

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Wow I've heard snippets of it and it really rocks! There's this track with kinda lowpitched vocals, it has a beat that has a really nice drive. Ass shaking indeed.

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

Go go go go go!

Re: '45:33' by LCD Soundsystem
 

so.. has anyone tried this for sex rather than running? i think there may be a great alternate purpose to this series...
