Good catch, I didn't even see that part of the post. Could probably make this a whole separate thread, but I won't unless there are enough posts to merit it.
The definitive electro-industrial album to have, if you have no other -- I have to agree with Dark Angel about this -- is Skinny Puppy, Singles Collect. I think it's no coincidence that this is one of my top 3 favorite groups of all time. Yes, really, even with the brapping.
Metal Industrial Crossover -- Nine Inch Nails, Broken is a good place to start -- also Pretty Hate Machine was a launching point for a lot of us at the time. I also really dig The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste by Ministry (as well as Land of Rape and Honey).
"Industrial" will always garner arguments, as there are at least 3 different styles with that name. There's the Wax Traxy dance industrial done all on synthesizers and sequencers -- and Skinny Puppy; there's the metal industrial crossover stuff, and there's the old school (early Einsturzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, etc.). There was even a metal label who called a lot of their acts as "industrial", though it didn't really sound machine-like to my ears at all. So after you listen to some, tell us which you really like and want to hear more of.
Will post about metal later.
