it is not really a well established instrument, it is true. anyway, 
there is a list of more than 400 bands and musicians using the 
Theremine

http://www.thereminworld.com/bands.asp

among them, Jarre (Oxigene 10, 1997) and Spencer, as has been said, 
but also John Zorn and many other well known musicians.

Moog is selling one and it is MIDIfied...

an interesting thing about Theremine that I don't know if it has been 
transferred to other newer electronic devices is its highly developed 
technique of playing...
