Mark, come on. I'm talking about the version that's used on the reissue of the Arista set versus the original 1977 album, because it's not the film version.

I would hope that given the fact that I've posted here for twelve-plus years, some things would just be a given. For instance, that I've seen the film Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. 
Anyway, the version on the expanded version, the one titled "Wild Signals." I hear what you are saying, but the film version---while slightly longer---sounds closer to the original album version than the reissue, which sounds too slow and almost like a rehearsal of the version in the film.

"Wild Signals" on the expanded CE3K is indeed the full cue. A different pre-recording was made and the editing and visual effects were created to match it. Later Williams re-recorded the cue as heard on the expanded CD. A short version of it (but still not as short as the film) was on the original album. The problem with the longer version is that some of the instruments were not given the attenuation necessary to give the music the context of the conversation between the mothership and ARP synthesizer.

Thanks for the info Mike.
Shaun it wasn't meant to slight you, if CE3K can't even get enough love at JWFAN, it wouldn't surprise me there are those who have been collecting film scores for years who aren't familiar with the score or film.
Really? That's insanity!
