Next stop would be "Love Pussycats & Carwrecks".  I haven't heard the
new album, but I'm guessing it's excellent.  There's an EP called "Let's
See What Carmen Can Do", and a single called "Carwreck", which I think
has only one new FP track and some good remixes by others, and then
there's a 3-track vinyl only EP called "FP vs. Jerry Van Roon", or
something like that.  There's a new single called "Rocket Soul", which
has two tracks not on the new album.  There's a track on "Endlessism", 
and some other various and sundry remixes.  I believe he was half of 
Nine Lazy Nine, an early Ninja Tune artist.  In his live DJ sets, he 
seems to have a penchant for alternating between drum&bass & weird old 
skating-rink style organ records.

Very fun Kraftwerk-inspired electro.  I like it.
