Rush's "Fear" Trilogy:

Part 3: Witch Hunt (from Moving Pictures, 1981)

Part 2: The Weapon (from Signals, 1982)

Part 1: The Enemy Within (from Grace Under Pressure, 1984)

Part 4: Freeze (from Vapor Trails, 2002)


There was also the "Gangster of Boats" Trilogy:

FWIW it's looking pretty bad for release of the first 3 parts of this particular trilogy...
