Aurora is an extended play by British rock band Asia, released on 2 April 1986 exclusively in Japan by Geffen Records.
It consists of four songs: "Too Late" from Astra (1985) and three B-sides from different singles. "Ride Easy" was originally available only as a B-side, on "Heat of the Moment" singles, released outside of the United Kingdom, and never appeared on a studio album. In an interview, released on the Fantasia: Live in Tokyo DVD (2007), vocalist and bassist John Wetton said that "Ride Easy" was one of his favorite Asia songs.
