“Progress is a Process 3” is Habit Blcx’s latest offering to the aptly named anthology. The album’s opening tracks, “Get Away” and “This Love,” feel like the nebulous haze of dawn, the first minutes of morning when eyes first open and gain focus. Instrumentally, they are thinly layered, artfully juxtaposing classic snare drum hits against more delicate accoutrements, like a pulsing synth or a tickled piano.

In some ways, PIAP3 is quintessentially Habit Blcx — it is observant …and clear-minded, as his past offerings have proven to be. But it is also experimental and inward-looking in a way that serves to broaden our understanding the man and the processes that forged him.
