elcapitan:
Ah, Pop Will Eat Itself! I wasn't sure whether to list them, but I'm glad someone else has.
Rizzo:
They roxx0r my boxx0rs. Seriously. And pretty influential as well. When "This Is This" came out in '89 it pretty much changed the way a lot of the underground looked at music.
You can hear their influcence in most modern hiphop, techno and industrial. Missy Eliott's latest album uses pretty much the same beat patterns as several of their songs and it's considered revolutionary for a mainstream hip hop album.
I cannot stress enough how much I like this band and the culture commentary they make. They pretty much predicted everything that would be cool in the 'industrial' scene (atleast in NZ) in the late 90's, early 00's.
What I wouldn't give to get hold of some of their original pressings... I've got two of their rare INFECT series CDs though, good remixes.
I wish I owned a copy of "Dos Dedos Mi Amigos" as well.
Yeah, listen to PWEI and realise they were doing this 20 years ago better and fresher than 90% of modern bands.

My favorites:
Aavikko
Amon Tobin
Ryoji Ikeda
Jori Hulkkonen
Check 'em out. They're worth it.
JLM:
I completely forgot about Jori Hulkonnen. The Spirits Inside Me is one of my alltime favorites, and Different is worth listening to just for his ode to Finnish Hockey.
Amon Tobin can be hit or miss. I really dug Supermodified and the Chaos Theoryalbum he released this year, but a lot of his stuff can get tiring after a while (at least, that's the impression I got after seeing him).

Welcome to my world. ;)
I should have put a "For me," in front of my original statement...I didn't mean to imply that as a universal truth.
Outshined:
Lots of good suggestions in here. I heard a little Amon Tobin last night for the first time, and now I'm beating myself up for not getting that Splinter Cell album just because it was a game soundtrack. Heard a little of Luke Vibert, as well... I've basically come to expect quality from anything on Warp records =P.
Pop Will Eat Itself sounds pretty interesting.
@Khar: Omg, I think that guy -is- a troll/goblin! I mean, lookit him!
