And I agree wholeheartedly, Secrets Of the Beehive is terrific. Probably the best place to start with Sylvian's solo work by my reckoning.
Sylvian has a whole other side to him that is primarily ambient, avante garde and instrumental. He's done a couple albums with Holger Czukay of Can and collaborated with former YMO member, Riuichi Sakamoto on many projects.

Approaching Silence , Alchemy: An Index of Possibilities and Flux and Mutability are good examples of this. Also Blemish which is very free form.
