True enough, but from the time I have been on Microsound (since not too
long after it started), that's the exception rather than the rule. That's
probably the first time any real discussion took place concerning 313 which
I recall. Some varieties of IDM are normal fodder there, but idm-m will
cover a lot (save the philosophizing) that Microsound covers as well as
IDM, old school and 313 (although nothing I have found is as in depth as
this list on that front - Lowlands, if you speak the language, might get in
the neighborhood) and even the occasional retro thread. Additionally,
Microsound can be a pretty high volume list. It is an invaluable resource
for that specicfic genre - especially if you are into MAKING music.

Just last week the topic was about race and detroit techno, mostly to do
with Juan Atkins and the XLR8R. That's pretty broad ;)

Microsound is good for discussion of theory, politics/philosophy of music
as it pertains to Microsound type excursions, but it will not wander afar
from those fields save for the rare clicky IDM topic. Kim does tend to keep
a good hold on it in terms of spam, etc. I'm not sure it will fit the
"broad range" you mentioned below - in fact, I'm certain it will not. I
still say idm-m is your best bet. Lance tends to keep the static down and a
lot of music gets treated with a lower volume than IDM - and far less
flamebaiting. No ads, FS lists, etc. are allowed.
