Sorry, but I must respectfully disagree with you. The absolute best lyricist, especially for sad songs, is none other than Lloyd Cole. You can't imagine unless you've actually heard his songs, both solo and with the Commotions. He's followed closely in the sad song category by Tori Amos and Bryan Ferry (solo), and some of James Taylor's stuff (ie-Fire and Rain). Let's see, IDMish? There's some great sad stuff (as well as shit scary) on SAW II. Recoil Pentamerous Metamorphosis - Chapterhouse remixed by Global Comm Placebo - Meat Beat Manifesto (listen to the whole song) Pentatonik Locust I can think of plenty of scary stuff, but not a lot of sad IDM/ambient.
