1. Signals

   Signals is the ninth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1982. It was the follow-up to the successful Moving Pictures. Stylistically, the album was a continuation of Rush's foray into the technology-oriented 1980s through increased use of electronic instrumentation such as keyboards, sequencers, and electric violin. Other noticeable changes were decreased average song length and lyrical compression. The album reached #10 on the Billboard album charts and was certified platinum by the RIAA in November 1982.

It may be also observed that signal officers of those days became subsequently the élite of the navy; signal-officer being then a proud term of distinction.--Fog-signals, certain operations which emit sound.--Night-signals, either lanterns disposed in certain figures, flashes, or false fires, &c.
