"Zahgurim formed in 1983 and were early contributors to the industrial music scene associating with the Temple Ov Psychick Youth. They were invited by Konnex Records Manfred Schiek to record an album for his Berlin Atonal label resulting in Moral Rearmament produced at Julian Gilbert and Simon Crab's studio at the Old Ambulance Station on Londons Old Kent Road. It became Berlin Atonal's fifth release. Live performances at Dimitri Hegemanns pioneering Berlin Atonal festival with Psychic TV, Test Dept., Laibach et al were followed by appearances at TOPYs early rave Thee Fabulous Feast ov Flowering Light at Londons Hammersmith Palais in May 1985 and the ICAs Drastic Classicism season. Shortly afterwards Zahgurim members Paul Ackerley and William Vince co-founded the percussion group Left Hand Right Hand. In 2018 Klanggalerie re-issued Moral Rearmament and Zahgurim played their first live show in 32 years in Vienna. A live document of the performance Live at Klang 25 was released on Klanggalerie. It included a new recording: 'The Living Room.' That was picked up by Olf van Eldens' Rush Hour label for the interstellar funk compilation Artificial Dancers -- Waves of Synth curated alongside Chris and Cosey, The Human League and Clan of Xymox. I Can Feel The Fun came out first as a download only release on Nostalgia De La Boue as a response to Tristan Koreya's curiosity. He rightly suspected that years of musical shrapnel lay scattered on tapes and digital folders. Recordings continued to be made with the original analogue equipment in spontaneous takes, channeling the early period musical fascinations and featured original band members, associates and new ones who are at the age now that the original ones were in 1984. As the world is still in chaos, their ruthless take on it was necessary to retain the projects authenticity. Recordings were created in coastal Sussex between 2013 and 2023. All songs were created, mixed and performed by the Ackerleys."
