I don't know the whole line-up off-hand, but Ryuichi Sakamoto (ex-YMO)
is on keyboards, with Ginger Baker (ex-Blind Faith, etc...) on drums.
According to John Lydon, from a recent Melody Maker interview, he is
PiL and all of the other members are transient and chosen by him from
project to project.  According to Anton Fier however, from an interview
I did with him about 2 weeks ago, Bill Laswell wouldn't let the rest of
the regular PiL musicians into the studio, and instead chose to use
session musicians who could play their instruments.

About Bill Nelson :
     Nelson has a new single out (released within the last week or so),
  called 'Wildest Dreams'.  Very pretty, sort of in the 'Another Day,
  Another Ray Of Hope' stream of things.  The B-Side of the 12 inch
  contains an instrumental piece called 'The Yo-Yo Dyne'.  Does anybody
  know what a yo-yo dyne is?  Does it have a meanining at all, besides
  being the name of a propulsion systems company in Buckaroo Banzai?
     Also, according to a Melody Maker of awhile back, Nelson will be
  (or is) producing the next David Sylvian solo-LP, which ought to be
  pretty impressive, if the report is true.
