Mirror Moves is the fourth studio album by the English rock band The Psychedelic Furs, recorded and released in 1984. Vince Ely had left the group, leaving three original Furs and Keith Forsey taking on production and drum duties. It featured the dance hit "Heartbeat" and the minor hits "Heaven" and "The Ghost in You." Despite warm sales and reviews, it would be another three years before the band re-formed for another album. Another track from the album named "Here Come Cowboys" was released as a single, but did not chart. Still, the band made a video for it which received some airplay on the then, very new and popular MTV network.
