Mapstation just released a self-titled album on Soul Static Sound last week.
I dont have it myself but plan on picking it up as soon as finances permit.
The writeup certainly makes it sound worthwhile - here it is from the Bent

If you enjoy Stefan Schneider sound, check out the Schneider TM
releases on City Slang. Schneider TM's Moist cd was one of the best
releases of '98 plus the Uptight & Masters ep were also excellent.
Schneider TM has also done a host of remix appearances for the likes
of High Llamas, The Pastels, Peter Thomas, Turner, and Laub to name
a few... Schneider TM also did a cute little Pong cd-rom thing. For more
info on Schneider TM as well as an mp3 and a working demo of their
cd-rom pong game, visit the City Slang website (which also hosts
info on To Rococo Rot, Trans Am, Tortoise, and more) at:
