Watch this space for further developments. ;-)

In the mean time, I can point you at a couple of electronic groups I 
have encountered that use theremin prominently.  There is Seksu Roba, 
whose leader Sukho (Kevin) Lee used to be the thereminist for the LA 
surf punk band The MiGs, now does very electronic, somewhat funky 
synthpop.  Their album "Pleasure Vibrations" is recommended.

I would also recommend "SunQ" from IQU, which is less thorough-going 
dance music but still completely electronic and features Kento Oiwa on 
theremin.  Chris Accornero is a young man I have on my Spellbound show 
who does electronic music with theremin as well.

Too bad I'm on this side of the pond.  Bribe the soundboard guy for me 
and get a recording, eh? :-)
