I am part of this group as well, with my first experience in "industrial" being Fad Gadget. . . good ole Frank Tovey made me realize that there was something to this whole synth nonsense (makes me feel sorta old thinking about those days) :). I soon moved on to Cabaret Voltair, E.N., Gristle, Skinny Puppy (and related works) and on and on and on. . .
My first experimentation with idm as it were (well, more like ambient I guess) came with the early Richard H. Kirk solo releases, of which I then moved on towards autechre, rdj, and other miscellaneous things . . .
Recently I have returned to listening to some of the more powernoise style industrial and spent less time purchasing wonderfully seductive idm releases (other than Uwe / Rather Interesting stuff cuz MrTangent has gotten me addicted and I can't stop myself). . mostly ant-zen releases. . .noisex, P.A.L. etc. Admittedly it can be less than "intelligent" at times, but there is something about it that makes it fit rather well with my current life's soundtrack.
I have never actually liked NIN nor given them much a listen, in fact, the only album I have ever been able to listen to repeatedly is fixed, which is quite good imo. Pretty much everything else he has done hasnt really hit me enough to make me want to listen to it. . . oh well
In conclusion, i will close by reiterating what many have recommended Haujobb. I have been a big fan of them for quite some time and recommend everything except ninetynine and the remix wars (vs. Wumpscut, who i kinda enjoy normally). I am also very fond of the newest noisex ep (Serial Killer). Other than the first (quite ambient), and second (classic noisex noise) tracks, the other tracks stretch into the domain of idm with a mixture of techno bleeps and beats with some harsh bass lines and samples.
Take care folks,
