Actually I'll comment on that list:
very nice!
If you're looking for a few suggestions from newer acts (assuming of
course that you've not already decided you don't like 'em), try:
stromkern :: armageddon (out on wtii records)
I think many US club DJs should have a stromkern track or two that you
could ask for them to play. Anyway, then from there, one of the
stromkern guys has a non-EBM (I have no idea what genre to call it)
project called Monstrum Sepsis. Find MS's "deep sea creatures". It is
certainly interesting.
I'm sure you've heard suicide commando and velvet acid christ, but
noticed they weren't on your list. But really like one of suicide
commando's older albums "stored images". I found mine used, so many you
can (though not having a car in the US can really suck).
I've not listened to their new album, but Aghast View's "phaseknox" is
worth listening too. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it falls into that
category "EBM not on car's list yet". ;)
I also love the Retrosic's "Messa da Requiem" EP out on tribune records.
And for a few more non-EBM recommendations: request some p.a.l (I like
his "release" album), mlada fronta, or asche. High energy, and loads of
fun.
If you like guitar based music, I just saw Hanzel und Gretyl, and their
new "uber alles" tour was a blast.
For the older stuff, there are plenty of people here who can come up
with much better recommendations. Personally I hope they do, as I'll
make a point of listening to them as well. (And forutnately I have a
car and some cash. I know, totally unfair, but you'll get money and
transportation some day too. I hated college as I was so poor that
dinner often was the free pizza slice you got when giving blood!)
