So many, but:
Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness by Aubrey Hodges
Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within by Robert Holmes
Not quite an adventure game soundtrack, but also all of Swan Lake.

Gabriel Knight 2
What a wild game. I want to replay it, but played it too recently. Need time to forget the puzzles.
Wonder if we'll see anything in this vein again. There is Markus Ritter, which seems to be at least inspired by the same German-evil-hunter-descended-from-Ritter-lineage backstory. I'm playing its sequel in the Steam Next Fest, haven't made it very far, and it's definitively an indie/lower budget game, but has a nostalgic and interesting feeling, and is actually a point and click game, unlike some latter-day FMV games that are more like choose-your-own-adventure with dialogue prompts.
I find myself humming the Monkey Island theme fairly often.
The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour were both stuck in my head (and on my phone, my old WinAMP playlist, the MIDI's are still floating around my computer somewhere) for the longest time after I discovered those games in the mid 2000's.
Easily Monkey Island. Easily. You can already hear it in your head, can't you?
Almost all of the Sierra games, but most especially King's Quest VI. Space Quest III and IV are definitely close, though.
I even have them all on my Plex server so I can listen to them anytime. Often in the shower. Oh, wait, TMI? Sorry.
- Stuff composed by Ryu Umemoto (YU-NO, Desire)
- Stuff composed by Nobuo Uematsu (Alpha, Will: The Death Trap II)
- Elegy from Nocturnal Illusion
- KQ1 remake
- Death Gate
- Dune
you already know, The 7th Guest and 11th Hour lol
The Police Quest 2 soundtrack is also amazing.
And in a total different way, i love the Riven soundtrack
Thank you for reminding me, Benny. I've played the Riven soundtrack so many times that I practically have it memorized. I guess it's tied with KQ6 for living rent-free in my head all the time.
