i've got alot of respect for sven but the stuff he's played for last few years is probably the worst of his career, it's just fodder.
those 4-6 hours sets at orbit were legendary, everyone just had him down as a trance monkey but he'd regularly drop some of the best detroit techno i ever heard in that club alongisde some of the darkest euro stuff. remember him playing about an hour of basic channel, carl craig, morganistic, plastikman etc one night and the crowd were just totally into it, no cheering, whistling or whatever, just heads down and in the groove. very tribal.
i'd still go see him if he played leeds again, if nothing else just for the women that always seem to turn out when he's in town :)
