I remember my first experience with music of an industrial-bent. I was a young teen, watching MTV, when this fucked-up stuff comes on by a band calling themselves "The Art of Noise" with a song called "Close to the Edit."
Theirs was a softer, gentler version, but abrasive nonetheless to most viewers, I'm sure.
And of course, their namesake is from Russolo's early 20th c piece.
I forget who referenced Henri Chopin the other day, but I like his soundpoems and soundscapes also. I just happened along him one day a few years ago over at ubuweb after viewing the related links section here. Although he's no goth-style industrial-enthusiast (in the traditonal haha sense), he does make some rather abrasive-yet-entrancing sounds at times.
I think Eno/Fripp did a lot on their first two '70s outings (No Pussyfooting, Evening Star...two fabulous recordings) to fashion a bridge between organic-y prog and harsh decidely non-organic industrial.
