It's called EBM. Electronic Body Music. Precursor to GOA trance by the way. Also "futurepop" is a more recent name or outgrowing from EBM, came about in the early-mid 90's I suppose. VNV Nation, Icon Of Coil, Apoptygma Berzerk, Assemblage 23, Juno Reactor, Cabaret Voltaire, Yello, Coil, KMFDM...well you know...just look up the artists on that playlist.

I've found this:
Electronic body music (EBM) is a musical genre combining elements of industrial music and electronic dance music. The genre's early influences run the gamut from the noisy industrial music of the time (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) to the Radical Dance scene (Portion Control, 400 Blows) and straight-ahead electronic music (Kraftwerk, DAF).
The term was coined by the Belgian band Front 242 in the early 1980s to describe their music, and they are considered the first EBM band. Through the 1980s and early 1990s the style was characterized by harsh and often sparse electronic beats and became popular in the underground club scene, particularly in Europe. In this early period the most important labels were the European PIAS and Antler-Subway and the North American Wax Trax!; early bands besides Front 242 were Die Krupps, Nitzer Ebb, Borghesia, Neon Judgement, The Weathermen, Klinik, à;GRUMH..., Skinny Puppy, Severed Heads and, Front Line Assembly, among others.
By the mid 1990s, EBM began to borrow more and more heavily from synthpop, with the early releases of such bands as Covenant, and VNV Nation combining harsh industrial beats with synthesizer-driven melodies. By the late 1990s many of these middle-era EBM bands (notably VNV Nation and Covenant) were moving more and more towards synthpop, leading to some confusion and debate over the meaning of the term "EBM." While the term is still debated between "purists" who prefer to apply it to music more reminiscent of 1980s-era Front 242 (the term Old-school EBM is often used for this particular reason) and fans of a more modern style who allow for less adherence to its industrial heritage, today the term typically is used to refer to a sound similar to that of the middle-era bands. In any case, the genre is distinguished from modern interpretations of synthpop and the recent new style known as futurepop by the retention of some degree of harshness and industrial elements.

***shakes fist***
i hardly think that one or several cd titles with "EBM" a genre make.
only guys/gals that make music an academic exercise are probably the only ones that might even use this genre title. genre titles develop when consensus by music listeners develops from the underground or a when a major sponsor such as a big music company, radio station, or group coins it and this lead to a consensus by7 the masses. in this case, F242 coins it. but the second element is missing, and that's probably why i've never heard it.
this is what i found on a quick search:
i typed "EBM" in discogs and only got back 7 results.
i "electronic body music" in disocgs and only got back 10 results.
i typed "EBM" in amazon and only got back 10 results.
i "electronic body music" in amazon and only got back 8 results (and one was trance).
compare that to:
i typed "industrial" in discogs and got back 164 results.
i typed "industrial" in amazon and got back 3031 results.
in any case, even if EBM is a genre (a very dubious proposition), i'de think that it would fall under industrial. logcially, all ebm is indusrial, but not all industrial is ebm.

i'd just call it industrial and be done with it. to be on the safe side, next time i go to my usual record stores, i'll ask for the EBM section.
