[generalBlasto]

I saw this in the early 1970's..Kronos scared the crap out of me. Marching with its piston legs..that image of kronos, stuck with me all these years..when I saw it again just now, I felt that very same chill. LONG LIVE KRONOS!

Music is the old HOLTZ the Planets--

How does it move across the desert?Kronos would be useful for cracking walnuts or plugging oil wells..

@spacepatrolman Jeff Morrow was the nice Alien in THiS ISLAND EARTH. In the 70s worked as a student aid at a college planetarium and the Director was working on his Phd. So, he had put together a planetarium show and got more funding for me to not only research but to present shows to the public. Was never able to find the soundtrack to KRONOS but WAR OF THE WORLDS, THIS ISLAND EARTH, TV series-intro to OUTER LIMITS of the 60s; also ELECTRA GLIDE IN BLUE, STAR WARS, STAR TREK and other movies

@rangeclerk jeff was a technical illustrator he draws kronos on the blackboard at the end of the movie I dont think the soundtrack to kronos was ever issued star log magazine issued rocket ship x-m on record and considered issuing kronos but never did electra glide in blue comes with a poster and a book the original title was pig

[rangeclerk]

@spacepatrolman I never said starlog issues Electra Glide in Blue, just that I used some of the soundtrack-music for the planetarium shows I created. JAWS as another one which had excellent music for Planetarium shows---most planetariums used HOLTZ THE PLANETS and got really sick of hearing it. Many soundtracks to films have interesting and great music for astronomy shows---use them for 'background' when I set up my motor-driven 'scope for public showings
