For an adventure game, Dimitri Bodiansky and Nicolas Varley outdid themselves with the original score for Syberia. The train theme is simply stunning.
On the simpler side, it's hard not to love the eclectic musical selections in Grim Fandango or the driving beat in titles like Full Throttle.
Outside the genre, Jeremy Soule's work is unequalled in the interactive medium. His orchestral themes for Icewind Dale and a long list of other great titles are just gorgeous.
I also adore the minimalist score composed for Fallout and Fallout 2 by Mark Morgan.
Cheers, Terry

The Discworld games - Especially Discworld 2. It's also interesting to hear how some tracks are found in all three games but still manage to sound different.
Post Mortem - There isn't alot of music in this game, but what is there is very nice, and fits perfectly to the locations.
Grim Fandango - Some of the tracks are just brilliant. And I don't even like jazz that much.
The Monkey Island games - Fun and atmospheric music.
I like game music. Which each game I install, I copy the music files to my computer when it's possible.

1. Gabriel Knight : Sins of the fathers, amazing main piano theme.
2. Simon the sorcerer 1, also catchy main tune.
3. Goblins 3, i think the background music its great and original as well as the sound effects.
edit: add Jack orlando! great music.. jazz I think.

Other good soundtracks:
Broken Sword 1 (Especially the soaring introduction)
The Gabriel Knight games
The (other) Monkey Island games
The Myst games
The Neverhood (Extremely silly, but jazzy good fun)
The 7th Guest
The Shivers games
Timelapse
Syberia 1

pathologic's music throughout the whole game, hands down and light years ahead of anything else! 8-)
and again, just like the fav intro/ending thread, i remember nothing! i do remember a track that was playing on gk3's map when you were following somebody, which was amazing and i wish i could find an mp3 of it... i also loved qfg5's music... discworld noir, grim fandango and scratches were pretty good too
and back to non-adventures, i always found silent hill 1's intro music to be exquisite and, of course, the intro music to parasite eve 1... there's also a small piece on sh3, when you enter your apartment and find your father, which i really love (have an mp3 of this one! 8-))
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

I think you can find that track in a file called "ambient", in the game's folder

Maybe you should try downloading different codec packs for Windows Media Player. I have 2 or 3 packs installed, so it may be that.

If you haven't played some adventure games from the 90's. Give it a go. So much to discover there from these big gaming giants.
