They list Steinberg, but ignored Native Instruments, the producer of Reaktor. Very incomplete.

Might make a nice addition to the Wikipedia page on the same topic, with the author's permission, of course. Dunno why this is on the front page of Slashdot, though...
As I suspected, the site is fairly old, click on "Introduction": '120 Years Of Electronic Music' is an ongoing project and the site will be updated on a regular basis (currently v3.0 feb 1998).
Regular basis..

120 years of electronic music, and no mention of Karl-Heinz Stockhausen? How could they leave him out?

Theremin!

The Theremin Leon Termen Soviet Union 1917
This looks to be the oldest electronic instrument that is still regarlly used today... of particular note is the artist Goldfrapp who plays a theremin in a MOST provocative manner during her live gigs!
87 years is quite a respectable age. I can't see a date for electric guitar anywhere on the site.
also just got to love
Dr Kent's Electronic Music Box Dr Earle Kent USA 1951
do you think he had an advertising jingle?

Possibly, but most of the original "lead" of the theme music was done with a sine oscillator, careful tweaking of the frequency knob, and lots of cutting and shutting on tape.
The TARDIS sound effect was made by running a key down the bass strings of a gutted piano, and a bit reverb. Lots of BBC Radiophonic Workshop sound effects were made by bashing, bending and otherwise abusing fairly common objects, then speeding up, slowing down, and reversing the sounds on tape. The "laser gun" effects in Blake's 7 were apparently made by gaffa-taping a microphone to an electricity pylon, and bashing one of the other legs of the pylon with a big spanner.
