Don't really love any of the groups you list but do have most all works by:
-skinny puppy
-wumpscut
-leatherstrip
-early front 242
-nin
-ministry
-ramstien

This is more industrial metal vs the pure industrial avant/noise style of the groups you list above......I have owned albums by several of them long ago but did not keep them. (Cris & Cosey, Neubaten, SPK, Death in June etc)

Current industrial scence is dominated by EBM dance influenced acts, some of which are OK but generally pretty boring stuff.
Kurt,
I have all releases by Xymox/CoX, really like them although not really industrial except perhaps the recent excellent Creatures and Notes From Underground......I believe Ronny Moorings was very influenced by work of Wumpscut on these two.

1980's CoX work on 4AD label fit well with other label groups like Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance etc
Oh yes, I also really like Manson from Antichrist Superstar to present. A bit too glam goth to be taken seriously but music does rock pretty hard and has some industrial elements.

Sacriligious?
They will kick me off the board if I ever start with my large black metal collection: Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Bogir, Tristania etc. he he.

For Wumpscut try to get middle period stuff:
-embryo dead
-bunker gate seven

If you want similar stuff to Xymox get all:
-Switchblade Symphony (3 albums)
Getting back to the early industrial stuff, I would love to find copy of:
SPK - Machine Age Vodoo
has a song called "metal dance" and is more accessable than early noisey material like Auto Dafe album.

Network label had a lot of early industrial acts signed, one I remeber was Severed Heads, still have greatest hits collection......song "twenty deadly diseases" is cool
