I listened to this this morning. Very good.

Early industrial jazziness via Die Krupps' first lp.  I'm not much into Die Krupps' cringey ebm rock (.. not recommended here), but their original jazzy, post-punk sound translates well on their 2016 live release "Stahlwerkrequiem". Nice to see the band go back to their roots on that release. Although not dark jazz, the electronic improv & ideas definitely have an industrial influence in places for sure. Case in point:

While not specifically on the nose, the recent Prefuse 73 "New Strategies for Modern Crime" albums definitely have their moments.
