Gorgeous melodies! I always start my darkroom hours with this recording. 2) Anything by Mozart, Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff. 3. "A Day Without Rain" and "Watermark" by Enya. Lush music and melodies and her great voice combine to create a synchronization with the developer, short stop, and fixer trays activities that is uncanny and wonderful. I usually play these two near and at the end of my usual 4-hour darkroom sessions. My darkroom is not big, so speakers were not considered. Instead, I bought Bose's Wave Radio and CD player which is on a shelf in the corner just above the chemical trays and is positioned diagonally so as to spread the music around the small room. This is an amazing CD player for its size in terms of bass, treble, and overall sound output. Playing Enya's recordings with this is AMAZING! Highly recommended!
