Nine Inch Nails Data

This repository is a collection of data regarding releases and performances by Nine Inch Nails. We have designed a schema that we intend to be generally useful for music and music performance in general.

In this repository, you will find the data for the following:

  • Releases: The entire discography (singles, LPs, EPs, videos, Soundtracks, Film Scores, etc), contributors.
  • Tracks: Lyrics, versions, duration, bpm, covers, contributors.
  • Tours: Setlists, dates, countries, cities, venues, festivals.

The schema diagram for the database can be seen within this repository. The database was designed using PostgreSQL.

-------------------------------------------------
 objects in mirror (are closer than they appear)
 i can't give everything away (farewell mix)
 i'm looking forward to joining you, finally
 parallel timeline with alternate outcome
 the sleep of reason produces monsters
 complications with optimistic outcome
 other ways to get to the same place
 a man walks into an intrinsic field
 a traveller from an antique land
 down in the park (piano version)
 what have we done to each other?
 when it happens (don't mind me)
 i never thought it would be you
 in the hall of the moutain king
 pay no attention to the cactus
 burning bright (field on fire)
 looking forwards and backwards
 dreaming forwards & backwards
 absent friends and old ghosts
 every day is exactly the same
 backpack & brothers to m.i.t.
 looking forwards & backwards
 and all that could have been
