Karma was Pharoah Sanders' most accessible record and most radical statement simultaneously. The Creator Has a Master Plan runs over thirty minutes across both sides of the original vinyl — a slow ascent from percussion and bass toward something that sounds like collective transcendence. Sanders had worked with John Coltrane until his death in 1967, and Karma is in direct conversation with A Love Supreme — the same impulse, rawer, less composed, more willing to scream. Leon Thomas sang the track, yodeling in a technique traced back to African field recordings.
