2020 reissue, part of a series of individual reissues of the albums making up Sun Ra's 'Egypt 1971' album. Nidhamu is more music from the Egyptian tour of 1971, with the bulk of the material coming from a show at the Ballon Theater in Cairo. "Space Loneliness, No. 2" starts with a tone poem, then goes into a long keyboard solo which leads into the "Space Loneliness" theme, originally recorded in the late '50s for the album We Travel the Spaceways. "Discipline No. 11" has a mysterious intro, then a mini-Moog feature which answers the unasked question, "What if Sun Ra played the outro to "Lucky Man" instead of Keith Emerson?" "Discipline No. 15" is a mini tone poem while the title cut has Ra as the mad tone scientist on a crazy organ/Moog feature.
