Inspired by this other thread: music that could provide the soundtrack to a cyberpunk book/film

Name some music that tries too hard to sound like it belongs as a soundtrack to a cyberpunk book/film.

Cabaret Voltaire.

Nah... they were around well before cyberpunk even existed conceptually, and a large part of their work is just way too lo-fi to be "cyberpunk."

Most of the Foetus stuff would be perfect. I'm trying to decide which album is most fittingly "cyberpunk". Maybe "Nail"?

That Motley Crue album they did without Vince.

Alan Vega's "Power on to Zero Hour" is incredible. Vega in top form, with Liz LaMere feeding him Hip-Hop beats through a fug of industrial effects. Shouldn't work at all, but it's everything Sputnik dreamed of being.

True, but their latter electro material from the early-mid 80s is rather cyberpunk-ish, at least.
