You've got the only Freak Power album so far. But I would also
recommend the two albums by Beats International: LET THEM EAT
BINGO and EXCURSION ON THE VERSION. The main guy behind both
projects is Norman Cook. The Beats International project is
less jazzy, more sample-oriented, but every bit as much fun.

Freak Power has played live; I remember seeing a concert review
in one of the UK music mags. But I don't think they tour a lot.

Hope this helps.
