'''''Phorward''''' is a mini-album by the [Scottish](/source/Scotland) band [The Shamen](/source/The_Shamen). It was released in 1989 on Moksha Records. It was billed as a "mini album" because the original vinyl release had only six tracks.

==Background==
On the CD version, DJ [Eddie Richards](/source/Eddie_Richards) remixed tracks including "You Me and Everything", "Reraptyouare", "Splash 2", and "Phorward", further expanding the musical impact the mini-album made on the [acid house](/source/acid_house) scene. It was reissued with slightly different tracks in 1999 on the Essential label.

The front cover image is a monochrome, heavily rasterized excerpt of the cover image on ''[In Gorbachev We Trust](/source/In_Gorbachev_We_Trust)''.
