Jansen and Barbieri's 'Stories across borders' (?) is very good.
Sylvian's solo albums are all worthwhile in some way;  my favourite is
'Gone to Earth' - particularly the second instrumental LP.
His two collaborations with Holger Czukay 'Plight and Premonition' and
'Flux and Mutability' are excellent radio noise/ambient collections.
There was also that tape thing which contained (amongst others) the music
to the Steel Cathedrals video.  

Not sure whether you'd count these as being 'along the lines of RTC'.

This is all quickly-remembered information so apologies for inaccuracy.
No doubt someone will etc.
