I used to not to take the Theromin very seriously. IMO it has been plagued with the "Bad Sci Fi" label for as long as it's been around.

Incredibly good. And you're absolutely correct about it being treated poorly by soundtracks of the past. Same thing could have happened to the Ondes Martinot, except that some major composers wrote for it.

Thanks, Andy!
