While old and not as syncopated as much of what is cutting-edge IDM now, couldn't some of Ultramarine ("Every Man and Woman is a Star"-era) qualify as "happy" IDM? I'd say that some of B-12 (telefone xxx) is happy also. To me, a lot of IDM is ultimately happy because it has a futuristic feel that is generally positive and suggesting construction (instead of decay) though is a realistic (vs fantastic) way be the use of non-fanciful chords and key changes (not a lot of C-F-G maj stuff like fluff pop) IDM is very gradual, imho, and evokes slight moods, but specifically promotes complex thinking and observations...
