Thomas is best known for his work with Pharoah Sanders, particularly the 1969 song "The Creator Has a Master Plan" from Sanders' Karma album.

Sounds like: a school bus crashing through the window of a music shop! We love gritty funk instrumentals, however, beating our instruments isn't all that matters to us! We find that if you're not moving forwards, you just slide backwards. We didn't collectively make a conscious decision to change direction, but over this past year our sound has evolved organically into something a bit more soulful and song-based.
