History of, and information on industrial music

Here is what Artistdirect.com has to say about industrial music:
"Industrial music was a dissonant, abrasive style of music that grew out of the tape-music and electronic experiments of the mid-'70s bands Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle (the term was coined from the latter's label, Industrial Records). The music was largely electronic, distorted and rather avant-garde for rock circles. By the mid-'80s, industrial dance bands Ministry, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and Skinny Puppy had evolved from the original template. During the next decade, industrial went overground and became a new kind of heavy-metal courtesy of crossover groups like Nine Inch Nails, White Zombie and Marilyn Manson.
