Also done very well in Monkey Island 2 with iMuse as well, in which a lot of care was taken in transitioning music with custom bridges. It was quite subtle and lovely, and is considered a high point in video game music. 1. A video demo: ▶ this video 2. Some details: link
How do they do it, like the imuse system of in mokey island 2, where different music layers get added and removed as you move aeound? (See ▶ this video )
I feel like iMUSE [0] by the fantastic Michael Land needs to be mentioned here. Here it is in action: [1] [0] link [1] ▶ this video
