Hi everybody
My name is Shay Pur, from Israel, 27 years old
I have been creating music for the past 10 years.
My first project was – “BANDIT” – Psy Trance music.
The second project was – “SMOOTH” Chill-out, Trip-Hop Music Double album.
SMOOTH was released on 2003/4. SMOOTH Part Two will be released soon.
Octopus actually combines all my work so far-the Psychedelic trance with harmony and deep emotion.
Enjoy,
Shay Pur. Aka Octopus
Some Info about me from websites.

Comment from http://www.psynews.org radi, you could also check out Bandit's "Looking for the Element" Cd!
Shay Pur from Israel is/was Bandit. Too bad he only had the one release. His sound was what I would call breakthrough material, ahead of it's time. BPM's range from 130-140 (sounds and feels faster) comment from Isratrance.com shame on me only today i bought this pretty amazing compilation from Optimus records, that took straight the place of "best israely release for me ever". thats a psy trance i wanna hear at morning hours at open airs. so nice music, so nice story.. nice to know Shay Pur release trax after his good album as Bandit. Z-Domain's trax (Shay and Rami) are very,very good.. for a truth whole cd are very,very good.. morning,melodic not cheesy and very progressivy this compilation is a blast thing or blast food if u want. Believe your soul ! Peace
