Oppy Music, Vol. I: Purple, Crayon is the Debut Album by Chris Opperman and the Random Factor
"Can you imagine a silken scarf, studded with turquoise Necco wafers? Opperman's music starts on the 'and of 2.' If you think you understand it, you're wrong. There's this weird little plot of land occupying a hitherto unexplored region between rock, jazz, contemporary classical, and some weird fucking shit nobody can explain. There's Opperman. I don't know if you'll ever get there, but Opperman'll let you watch."
