ASOT 2014, average run-time per track looks like 3-4 minutes:

Sometimes the Extended Mixes are released via a separate purhcase, but I do not see the extended mixes edition for ASOT 2014 yet and it was released months ago.

Actually, you can see right here that Terminal will only run for 2:53 (CD 2, track 11):

I think that's shorter than the mixes we have floating around already? Another thing I am wondering is whether or not this is a studio mixed comp or live recorded. With his "Universal Religion" comps, they are usually recorded live (crowd cheers and all). ASOT comps are usually studio mixed, but this is not the same as his yearly ASOT compilations (as the 2014 comp has already been released). This comp is titled "Compilation ‘A State Of Trance at Ushuaia, Ibiza 2014’" so it very well may be a recording of him playing live sets. If that is the case, the rips we have from his radioshow are already better than the version that will appear on this compilation.

It is interesting to note though that Armin has given Ayu full credit on the track - no "Armin van Buuren feat. Ayu" or vice versa - simply "Ayu". This leads me to believe that he won't be releasing this track himself in a remix package along with remixes by fellow labelmates/trance DJs.
I listened to the preview (an album only purchase!). I think it is that version we got of Terminal back in May or June where the track had some guy talking on it like he was on the radio.
