Valence's _Music For TransNeptunian Space_ (Pitchcadet),
which I coincidentally happened to be playing while reading
this thread, ideally fits the bill of emotional/romantic IDM. It's
filled with gorgeous,
slo-mo melodies and vaporous atmospheres and is executed with
restraint and exceptional skill. If I were human, I'd
probably be crying now.
