Around the time of Neil Peart's arrival and subsequent work on Fly By Night, the trio of Rush began to toy with various conceptual imaginings to work into their music. Indeed, the extended track "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" from the previously mentioned album could be seen as their first foray into this sort of lengthy prog-rock staple. On Caress Of Steel, an album that was a bit hurried and underdeveloped (admitted by the band themselves), they took their first major steps towards the fundamental basics that would eventually develop into monsters like 2112 and the Cygnus duality.
