Take your pick: List of darkwave music artists. (The list is probably debatable, but it's a good place to start.)
Off that list, let's see... I recommend
- black tape for a blue girl
- Claire Voyant
- the Cruxshadows
- Ego Likeness
- Lacrimosa
- Razed in Black
- Switchblade Symphony
- ThouShaltNot

I started wondering about that too... Ah well. My recommendations, as a darkwave fan:
Black Tape for a Blue Girl (damn, you beat me to it, Enc)
Cocteau Twins
Devics (though, this might be indie, I've never been sure about that)
Voltaire
Miranda Sex Garden
London After Midnight (esp. their early stuff)
Switchblade Symphony
Dead Can Dance
As you can see, I'm not too fond of EBM- influences in the music I listen to...
As for dark ambient, try Nox Arcana. I'm not really sure about any of the names of the bands I've listened to on dark ambient streams online, but you might get a few tips if you tune into one and notice the bands' names. There's one on shoutcast.com, I believe, it might have been live365.com, but I think it's the former because I can't remember being annoyed by ads...

Almost none of the bands cited above are really dark wave... most of them are Goth Rock. Clan of Xymox (which is one of my favourite bands) have become more dark wave in their later years. Cocteau Twins is Dream pop, not even Goth per-se (although they're pretty near). Lacrimosa is Goth Rock, too.
A good Dark Wave band that I can recommend is L'ame Immortelle (I recommend their song Teifster Winter). Most Dark Wave bands are german, given that the scene there is pretty huge and that much of Dark Wave has its origins in Industrial.

Crimson is right, they're not all necessarily strictly "darkwave," but most of them are at least darkwave-ish. I really think of darkwave as a pretty broad category, though I know it can get specific. Anyway my favorite darkwave(ish) bands are:
Dead Can Dance
Cocteau Twins
This Mortal Coil

Blush.
Depends on what Darkwave you're looking for exactly. Dark Wave (two words) was the antithesis of the European synth-pop/New Wave. Bands like Wolfsheim, Beborn Beton and to some extent Depeche Mode characterized the gloomy darker brand of synth pop feel.
Diary Of Dreams
The Cruxshadows
Clan Of Xymox
Diorama
Project Pitchfork
Then in the early nineties, American label Projekt began a mail-order catalogue called Darkwave (one word) that specialized in local, etheral sounding Gothic music that began being referred to as Darkwave in the States or Etheral (Dark Wave) abroad.
Black Tape For A Blue Girl
Soul Whirling Somewhere
Audra
Autumn's Grey Solace
Steve Roach
As Lonely As Dave Bowman
etc

Blutengel could also be classified as Electrogoth, but critics like Mick Mercer argue that Darkwave and Electrogoth are interchangeable...I find bands labeled Electrogoth to be more dance orientated than Darkwave.

Blutengel could also be characterized as new school EBM. The new school sucks.

Maybe Deine Lakaien. I often hear them refferenced to Darkwave, though they have a very unique sound.

Haha, Controlled Bleeding and Spahn Ranch aren't Industrial but Icon of Coil and VNV are?
What a wacky world we live in.
Anyhoo, I don't know anymore Darkwave than has already been mentioned, so I'll cover what no one seems to know anything about - Dark Ambient.
Angel of Decay
Desiderii Marginis
In Slaughter Natives
Premature Ejaculation
Karl Sanders (Yes, the frontman of Nile)
vidna Obmana
aswell as (some) Drudkh, Gorgoroth and Burzum, but they usually make Black Metal.

Oddly enough, 90% of the industrial groups that I mentioned belong to one label - Metropolis Records.

I dunno about that. I'd catagorize most of these bands in the EBM/Future-pop category. I s'pose it depends on what each of us consider as a genre. When I think of Industrial, I think of Skinny Puppy or Throbbing Gristle, or Neubauten, etc
