probably something similar is used in this one @ 5:21

The theremin is an epic instrument. THAT'S an old school synth - well, isn't it the first one? :3

Wasn't it the Beach Boys who first really championed this little bit of sci-fi kit?

Hmm, from Wikipedia (with citation)
"While The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" features an instrument that sounds much like a Theremin, in fact the sound is made by an instrument called the Tannerin."
So hah.
I'd love to use one, only I know I'd end up pulling stupid 'ooohh, wahhhhh' faces whilst waving my arms like some shitty alien from Dr Who

Don't trust everything you read on there. Although they probably are correct in this case! I'm just judging it on a Mixmag article from back in 94-95

Hehe yup, which is why I said 'with citations' Well the citationonly talks about the one song, so they may have used it for others

Bill Bailey uses a Theremin quite a bit on stage.

Oh. What a convenient visual example of my previous utterance.
