"A massive new box set […]incredible on-stage music. The set makes a powerful case for a tour that some Dylan fans have given short shrift."

“Dylan sets out to recreate the magic of 1975, and winds up bottling a different kind of lightning. This box isn’t merely the document of a tour that happened half a century ago. It’s a complete adventure.” 9/10

“Mammoth […] To say that this is hugely anticipated by the worldwide Dylan fan base would be a massive understatement—this wondrous collection of live recordings to hear this travelling carnival circus of musicians, led by the maestro Dylan himself, in all their ragged glory.” ★★★★★ November 6, 2026—Bob Dylan’s highly acclaimed The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings is out today on Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment—order/listen/share here. The 39 CD box set fully captures this tour alongside a stellar company of backing musicians and guest artists, yet another breakthrough in Dylan’s performance career. A 3-LP set of the complete May 16, 1976 Fort Worth show, remixed from the original multi-track tapes, is also available today. Beginning on April 18th, 1976 in Lakeland, Florida, and concluding in Salt Lake City on May 25th, 1976, the tour spanned twenty-five dates, almost all of which are represented in the 371 never-before-heard tracks. A storied and brilliant era of Dylan’s career, the tour’s tapes unveil how Dylan’s progressively furious performances all culminate in the complete Fort Collins recording on May 23, 1976, remixed from the original multi-track tapes, which yielded the special Hard Rain, broadcasted on television only once. ‘“Idiot Wind” in NBC’s Hard Rain is among the most rageful and brilliant performances Dylan ever committed before camera,” writes writer and music journalist Mikal Gilmore in his exclusive liner notes essay. “Yet again, it was for nought. […] One night, one hour only. It never saw any time in a theater. It was never rebroadcast, never issued as a video tape or DVD. It’s gone. All that’s left of the Rolling Thunder movie that was never made but instead played out on stages for four-and-a-half weeks in the spring of 1976, is what you now hold in your hands. Play the music, close your eyes, and watch the story.” The second leg of the legendary Rolling Thunder Revue tour saw Dylan welcome old friends and collaborators to his troupe. Dylan reunited with Joan Baez to perform a moving set of duets across many dates, including performances of “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Railroad Boy.” Dylan’s band included bassist Rob Stoner, violinist Scarlet Rivera, drummer Howie Wyeth (who had all worked on the chart-topping album Desire), guitarists Mick Ronson (of David Bowie’s Spiders from Mars), Steven Soles, David Mansfield and T Bone Burnett. Burnett recalls, “The Rolling Thunder Revue was the first national punk rock tour. It opened a door that led to a furious explosion of new music—The Clash, Elvis Costello, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols and on and on. Dylan had done it again. He is good at walking through doors that no one else even sees, doors that others think are walls.” The 39 CD Deluxe set includes 381 tracks, 371 of which have never been released, plus a booklet with liner notes by Mikal Gilmore and rare photographs. The 3LP complete Fort Worth show includes 22 tracks. CREDITS AVAILABLE HERE

AURORA Joins Bear McCreary For "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" Original Song "Morning Shall Come"

AURORA JOINS BEAR McCREARY FOR “THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER” ORIGINAL SONG “MORNING SHALL COME” OUT TODAY VIA CAPITOL RECORDS  LISTEN HERE

November 6, 2026 — Today, Norwegian alt-pop artist AURORA joins GRAMMY® nominated, Emmy® Award-winning composer Bear McCreary for “Morning Shall Come,” an ethereal new song written for the third season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” Out now via Capitol Records, “Morning Shall Come" was written by McCreary and AURORA, with lyrics by McCreary and series showrunner J.D. Payne. The song soundtracks the story of Galadriel and Celeborn, played by Morfydd Clark and Jamie Campbell Bower. Listen to “Morning Shall Come” HERE and special making of the song video featuring McCreary and AURORA HERE.   Said AURORA, “I’ve loved the Tolkien universe since I read his books as a child. The Lord Of The Rings has been such a huge part of my life. Being a part of this ancient story is such an honour. To shed light on the good behind any evil, and the evil behind any good. Working with the team, and Bear on this has been an adventure in itself. I am very very grateful!”   The official music video will premiere on November 9th exclusively on Amazon Music before arriving on AURORA’s YouTube. Filmed as a performance, the video takes us from Sky Studios in London to the treetops of Rivendell.   “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” complete soundtrack will be released on November 13th and will be available on all digital and streaming platforms. An expanded digital collector’s edition will follow at a later date.   The soundtrack features performances from The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices, Finland’s Mieskuoro Huutajat, Jens Kidman of Meshuggah, and The Rings of Power cast members Sophia Nomvete and Morfydd Clark. Across the season’s score, McCreary continues to expand the series’ musical world, drawing on choirs, folk instruments and Tolkien’s fictional languages.   In September, AURORA marked the tenth anniversary of her debut album, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, with The Moth Tapes: a new collection featuring demos and alternative versions from the album’s early days, along with the previously unreleased title track, taking listeners back to the beginnings of her musical world. Her collaboration with McCready follows a landmark year for AURORA. In April, TOMORA — her collaboration with The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands — released their critically acclaimed debut album, COME CLOSER via Capitol Records. The 12-track collection of textured, rhythm-forward productions brings their distinct musical worlds together and received widespread acclaim from The New York Times, NPR, Stereogum, and others, with Billboard praising its “textured, moody, rhythm-forward production.” TOMORA followed COME CLOSER in October with CELEBRATION, a five-track EP featuring two new songs and alternate versions of its title track.     “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Soundtrack” Track List (Digital): 01.

SEE INTERVIEWS WITH ZANE LOWE, AT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM, AND RESIDENT ADVISOR Our algorithmic age can feel like a perpetual now, with linear time - and thus trends - collapsing into a recursive multitude of subcultural revivals. This paradigm shift is of no concern for the German-Iraqi artist, DJ, producer, and composer Boys Noize (Alex Ridha); he’s been shifting paradigms his entire career. And with today's release of his eighth album, 7LLVSION, Boys Noize shatters the hall of mirrors with a vision of culture to come. Listen and experience 7LLVSION for yourself. The twelve-track 7LLVSION LP closes a monumental year for Ridha, marked by extensive collaboration with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Boys Noize joined the Nine Inch Nails world tour, co-produced the group’s TRON: Ares soundtrack (and its GRAMMY-winning single), and formalized this new collective with the top-billed Coachella debut of NINE INCH NOIZE. All the while, Ridha had been developing the iconoclastic sound that would become 7LLVSION, a collision of past and future with enough forward momentum to escape an endless present.  The album opens with “Illusion,” its title spoken in the Boys Noize signature vocoder before a 1/2 kick-snare booms in as a vehicle for buzzing, detuned oscillators. The track may be 140 bpm, but it’s not techno. A shock of rock ‘n’ roll is back in the club, and once again Ridha is leading the charge. “1+1+1” comes next, featuring Dutch artist ZEP’s punk snarls over a vicious step-sequenced bassline that tastes like sweat. Nodding to EBM pioneers DAF, these “arp storms” (as Ridha describes them) appear throughout the album, including on the Brutalismus 3000 collaboration “Nächstenliebe.” Infectious and galvanizing, the motoric leads set the pace for Ridha’s unorthodox departure from the straight-fours rhythmic standard. There’s New Wave drumming, mid-tempo D-beats, and, in the case of “Nächstenliebe,” a half-time dirge that builds to full-speed frenzy alongside the German shouts of B3K’s frontwoman. Choosing 7LLVSION’s tracklist, Ridha insisted that he “should be able to play every song on the album in a live set without question.” Recently he’s done exactly that to raucous, unhinged reception. “Take Me Out,” with its timeless Mississippi blues shuffle, stands out for its ability to suddenly transform staid techno crowds into hedonistic tableaux of bikers and cowgirls at Hell’s best strip club. Boys Noize’s synths are piled on so thick they replace all the air in the room with a kind of vibrating solid, and the cadence is both so familiar and so unexpected that the psyche splits, inhibitions spilling into a puddle on the floor. The album may be a mosh-pit from start to finish, but guests from across the globe make repetition impossible. Brazil’s avant-garde funkeiro Adame DJ assists on the Volt Mix-driven “Baile DF,” and post-Soviet electro-punk kings Locked Club deliver a fluttering, high-pressure blast of sub bass on peak-time banger “Wake Me Up.” Two returning collaborators appear on “I Need Luv,” with Abra lending vocals to an accelerated, dembow-dustrial track crafted with Venezuelan Safety Trance. Argentine alt-star TAICHU raps over “Shut it Down,” a deranged analogue stepper that shifts from trash can drums to Latin Tec to Wavecore bounce. Sometimes, a machine contributes to a track with its own uncanny, lifelike agency. On “Sh5b0mb,” the uncalibrated transistors of a half-century-old synth warp and moan like an animal as they heat, bending a whole step out of key. Ridha incorporates these “revisions” too, suggested by his mechanical elder. 7LLVSION consistently presents a singular (and hard) style that is Ridha’s own, but on the penultimate track “Ycore” Ridha seems to invent an entirely new genre. Here, the Arabic vocals of Mayah Alkhateri float over a Coldwave bassline and Robin Guthrie-esque guitar strums, the she’s-a-maniac beat running faster than its 150 bpm, sidechained melancholic poly-saw pads suggesting trance at the end of the world. Forget working together, none of these elements should exist together. Yet “Ycore” is exhilarating, breathtaking, pure frisson. Not like the dopamine hits we are bombarded with countless times daily - that system is exhausted. Boys Noize taps into something else, adrenaline and oxytocin and other neurotransmitters the club has forgotten in this time of optimization and refinement. 7LLVSION is not an album for ‘now;’ everyone is bored of now, now feels unreal, now feels directionless. 7LLVSION points both towards the past and the future, because direction itself is what we need most of all. And where Boys Noize goes, the rest always follow.
