I have no idea what to make of this track except to say that "Divergent" should be in letters four miles high. Starting with a pretty drab drum-and-electronic section, at around :47 suddenly the central element becomes a classical-sounding woodwind quartet, increasingly backed by the same sort of electronica. By 1:40, we're fully back into the electronic world, with techno and industrial sounds throughout.
When looking for a game soundtrack, it is important to have a consistent tone - you don't want to get a charged-up techno experience when trying to have a romantic scene. That makes this a difficult track to incorporate practically, although in a technical sense, the techno and electronic aspects of the work are more than adequate.
Certainly it's unique, and that may make it worth a listen on its own.
