VA: pt. 14 - Running Amuck

amuck \ ə-ˈmək, ə-ˈmäk \ adv : in a murderously frenzied manner. This is a word that has to do with chaos and disorder. A riot is an example of people running amuck. In a cafeteria, if people are yelling and throwing food, they are going amuck. This word applies to times when control has been lost: people are showing no self-control, and the situation is out of hand.

This Amuck is a cool punky compilation from that great Phoenix label Placebo. Born in 1979, Placebo is primarily a punk label (the main early label for Phoenix skate-punkers JFA) based in Phoenix, Arizona, 

Aside from punk bands they released a handful of electronic/noise releases, notably the early parts of the 'Dry Lungs' series. 

Side One is punky, Side Two is electronic/noise. 

 

Various - Amuck, Placebo Records LA103, 1982.
