Whatever happened to Jack (Too Pure)?

I was going through a pile of old cd's I haven't listened to in years and stumbled upon Jack's Pioneer Soundtracks. I decided to give it a listen and was impressed with how well it held up. The influences are hard to miss (Scott Walker, Tindersticks, Pulp) but they still manage to sound distinct. I caught them live in London in 1996 (part of a "big band" event that paired them up with Lambchop) and remember them giving a great live show. They released another album on too pure in 1998 and then appear to have disappeared. Allmusic lists two albums in the 00's but haven't turned up anything on that (the name Jack isn't exactly conducive to a web search).

At the very least, Momus collaborated with them on that Jacques album (which I haven't heard) so maybe he knows. Pioneer Soundtracks is a classic. Are their other albums as good/worth hunting down?

Already a thread! :-)
