Aesop Rock is not the first name you’d expect to find on a running soundtrack. All Day brings his abstract hip-hop style into the Nike+ Original Run series for another 45-minute experiment.

After LCD Soundsystem’s 45:33, the Nike+ Original Run series moves into The Crystal Method’s Drive, a 45-minute electronic soundtrack structured around the rhythm of a run.

45:33 started as a Nike running soundtrack and became one of the most unusual releases in LCD Soundsystem’s catalogue. Its ideas later helped shape Sound of Silver.
