Does anyone actually know more about these ancient electronic instruments,
like Theremin, Ondes Martinot, Telharmonium, Mellotron, etc.? This is
just a private interest of my own, since I've been compiling some kind
of history of electronic music for some time now. It would also be
nice to know if any contemporary IDM/techno/etc. acts still utilize
these instruments. Talking 'bout the *true* analogue... (:
Post or mail (if you don't think this is of interest to the other IDM'ers).

PS. I recommend everyone to read the 'Incredibly Strange Music'
books, volumes one and two (Re/Search). There are tons of stuff on the
early Moog recordings, exotica and cocktail lounge music LPs and other
truly weird stuff, and tens of hilarious record covers...
Now, back to our regular IDM marching order.
