World War II was (to my knowledge) the first war to be fought on land, at sea, and in the air. However, since the map selection in the main game and the two previous DLCs primarily covered land and air, Turning Tides took us into the refreshingly cool to very cool waters of the Mediterranean and the North Sea/Atlantic. But since war is always awful, regardless of the setting, the music in the expansion remains true to the style of the game.
Thus, the twelve tracks on this score once again range between action cinema and fatalism, even if Mediterranean sounds have crept into Cape Helles and The Shores of Gallipoli . Dark pieces such as The Battleships and Cold Dark Water provide a menacing contrast here, beautifully capturing the relentless rough seas. My favorite pieces of the score are the royal hurrah in For the Empire and the heist movie-like Sand and Dust.
