If it has more than one song the limit is 25 minutes. If it contains one song or several mixes of the same song than the limit is 40 minutes. That's why Aphex Twin ("Ventolin"), FSOL ("Lifeforms"), and Underworld (Original "Born slippy") make different songs with the same name so they can put more than 25 minutes onto a single.

Repeated listenings reveal that the 3 tracks on the original "Born Slippy" single are 3 very different versions of what is essentially the same track -- somewhat like the disparate versions of "Dark & Long". Either that or I am inadvertently making a case that Underworld repeat themselves. --Mark
