I got the impression, reading between the lines, that JS has always been unsure of his decision to turn him down.
It seems to me that Johannes is 'unsure' about his music in general, ie whether he has anything new to say (his words....not mine) and his piano playing abillity. Personally I think he's a great musician and he doesn't have to worry about his place in TD's history or in the larger EM world.
Perhaps he saw re-joining as a step back for him, perhaps returning to the same situation that made him want to leave in the first place, but that's just speculation on my part.
He did recently say that he couldn't think of playing live with TD again 'unless it was with Edgar and Chris'. He wouldn't say 'never'....but given the recent (and not so recent problems) with Chris, then it'll never happen.
I'm glad that Edgar asked him though, it was worth it, especially if it means that they might work again on some old tapes, who knows perhaps Thorsten might join in and that's a mouthing watering idea IMHO.
