No Frills International — United States, founded 1987

Jeroen Tel's "Noisy Pillars" appears yet again — at this point clearly one of the most ubiquitous SID tunes in crack intro history, appearing across American, British, and German groups alike. Rogue provided graphics. No coder is credited. No Frills International was an American group founded in 1987, their name suggesting a deliberately unpretentious identity in contrast to the era's grandiose group names. Released on 13 February 1988, this came during the final months of competitive American cracking. The HVSC preserves Tel's composition. NFI's "International" suffix — like INC's — reflects American groups' aspiration to connect with the predominantly European scene. The ubiquity of "Noisy Pillars" across groups on multiple continents demonstrates how effectively SID music circulated through mail-trading networks.
