Well.. A lot of people were exposed to IDM through NIN's "Further Down the
Spiral" disc which had a remix by aphex twin...
<<can anyone name a few artists/albums that blur the lines between idm and
industrial?>>
Yes! My favorite kind of industrial...
Haujobb-Solutions for a Small Planet
Haujobb-Ninety-nine
Forma Tadre-Navigator
Numb-Language of Silence (Particularly track 6 "Closer")
Gridlock-The Synthetic Form
Gridlock-Further
Gridlock-5.25
Dryft (side project of Gridlock)-Cell
Pain Station-Cold
Haujobb sound the most like straight IDM... While Gridlock really seems to
be a perfect mix of industrial and IDM... Syncopated harsh rhythms, with
BEAUTIFUL ambient pads in the background, with distorted vocals used as
another instrument
instead of taking focus.. Dryft, the Gridlock side-project.. Is more like an
industrial DnB album, minus any cheesy samples... Pain Station's "Cold"
album is a concept album.. But has many "intelligent" rhythms and textures to
it.. But it's VERY disturbing.
I have a review written here of that album:

click on "reviews" and then "P" and then "Pain Station-Cold"
Hope I've been of some help!

p.s. as an afterthought... i kind of try to blend the two a little bit.. if
you're interested.. Check out www.thoughtless.dr.ag and download "dissolve".
