The NRO was a French band formed in 1999 by Christophe Delbrouck. Although the bandmembers were not necessarily convinced Zappa fans, the aim of this formation was mainly to play and propagate Frank Zappa's music. Not exclusively limited to cover the original scores, their works also include a lot of arrangements, personal compositions and dada performances. The name, of course, is a reference to "Nasal Retentive Calliope Music" from We're Only In It For The Money.
