A oltre vent'anni dalla sua prima uscita in cd - per l'Orkhêstra, nel 2003 - Cuneiform Records ripropone in digitale uno degli album più belli dei Volapük, quinto e ultimo della loro breve produzione: Where is Tamashii?. Il trio, visto in più occasioni anche in Italia nei concerti proposti dal Circ.a, era all'epoca un quartetto dopo l'ingresso in pianta stabile di Takumi Fukushima a fianco di Guillaume Saurel, Michel Mandel e Guigou Chenevier. Oggi è quest'ultimo quasi a sorprendersi delle immutate qualità dell'album, a fronte del tempo intercorso, e a riconoscerlo anello di congiunzione tra precedenti e successive vicende: "In my opinion, Where is Tamashii? is the best realized album that Volapük ever recorded and released during the 12 or 13 years of our existence. Unfortunately, for non-musical reasons, this album was not really well distributed when it was first released and was not able to find the audience it should have. Listening back to this album today, something I had not done for many years, I am suddently struck by the fact it constitutes a perfect bridge or link between the earlier period of the group and later projects which have ermerged from the Volapük nebula of musicians. Its music is still fresh, organic and very real! A good surprise for me."
