As Google and the name of the game revealed to me, Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations is an addon for Tiberian Dawn, which includes 15 new single-player missions, multiplayer maps and - particularly relevant for me - a few new music tracks.
As was to be expected, composer Frank Klepacki remains true to his mix of 90s sci-fi synths and relaxed techno beats (Drill, Depth Charge). Drone leans more towards the 80s, while Creeping Upon sounds like the tough older brother of Age of Empires and Fallout. In contrast, Iron Fist relies on drum beats, while Re-Con and Voice Rhythm, bridge the gap towards the following title, Tiberian Sun.
This means that the style remains the same, but there is less for me in this iteration. If you liked the style of the main game, you will find tracks of comparable quality here. I give the score the rating 'Meh'.
