Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri, Mick Karn are all former members of Japan.
The album title is "Seed".
Much other excellent material from these cats and collabs with others.
Start with their record label, Medium:

Definitely hear the older material on Sylvian's solo albums, with Holger
Czukay, Jon Hassell, David Torn, Robert Fripp, and many others.

Quite a range of music, from the pure ambience of "Gone to Earth" to the
Crimsonish hard funk of the Sylvian/Fripp album.
To bring this back into idm territory, FSoL did a remix of Sylvian/Fripp's
"Darshan".
Also, the " Changing Hands" record is a collaboration in which Jansen and
Barbieri sent source material to Takemura to remix and edit, granting full
creative freedom. The artists didn't meet. The results are quite
beautiful - ambience and moody melodies over rhythms given the grit and cut
treatment.
Recommended.
