Kiteracer 2

Definitely the Smallest Weird Number for me.

if i had to choose three,

open the light
kid for today
farewell fire

I love kite racer 2 ! The sad melody at the end of New Seeds is already a hit.

Diving station is another one for me. The bittersweet warbled piano and drones just puts me in a confused sad mood.

So are you looking specifically for super emotional melodies?

For example, Alpha and Omega is entirely based around a melodic figure, but I wouldn't say it's particularly emotional... more cold/alien.

Telephasic Workshop. No contest. Best heard in:

Magic.

yeah, it says "the ones that pull on your heartstrings the most"...

Man, there are so many. How do I choose a meal when the menu is choc-full of delicious options? Gimme some time on this. . .

In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
Over the Horizon Radar
Nothing is Real
the beginning of Everything You Do Is A Balloon
stuff from old tunes I can't remember names/number

Some more honorable mentions.

The whole of Twoism pretty much. In particular the title track, Melissa Juice and 1986 Summer Fire, but in the end it's Sixtyniner with it's three different themes that layer themselves on top of one another so perfectly in the end, that takes the cake. (Wow what a convoluted sentence)

Apart from those, one that actually I think stands in equal footing to Telephasic Workshop is Zoetrope, in a way even surpassing it since the melody is largely buried under tape effects and the rest of the track in the album version. Regardless, it deserves a mention just because how underrated it is. Another special one from MHTRTC is Open The Light (perhaps my favorite from the album?).

Readily available in all your local well equipped p2p networks.

In terms of their prettiest and most memorable, concerning melody alone... I'll answer this with my favourite from each album:

Music Has the Right to Children: Olson
Geogaddi: Over the Horizon Radar
The Campfire Headphase: Satellite Anthem Icarus
Tomorrow's Harvest: Nothing is Real

Alternatively, the end of Happy Cycling or peacock Tail are contenders. Overall though, it has to be Olson.

EDIT: At the same time I want to say Dayvan Cowboy for TCH. It may not be my favourite overall album of theirs but I'll be damned if it doesn't have some of the most beautiful melodies they've created to date.

Off the top of my head

Olson
Tears from the compound eye
Kiteracer 2
Echus
Trails

Olson Olson Olson

Echus.

Bocuma. Also that sublime background noodle towards the end of IABPOITC.

so many...but Flute Frum Thing probably peaks it for me.
