The intro has a little clip at 0:28 right before the work "galaxy" comes in, that should be taken care of.
At the same time, everything drops out in honor of the voice, passed through the tape delay, which may sound unpolished.. I'd recommend you keep the beat in the back, double the kick, sample that kick, feed it into a sampler and loop the sampler, play a long note on C5 and automate the pitch bend from -24 to +24 so the kick also builds up, but in a different way from the tape delay, contrasting.
Also, You could have some white noise playing on the same build, and start of with if through a HP filter completely closed, and open it down as the build goes through.
Like this, you'll have the voices pitching and speeding up using a tape delay, the kick pitching and speeding up with the sampler play time (and you can mangle other parameters too), and the noise building down.
At the end of this build, it's nice to have the white noise fade out with a delay, after the beak has kicked in. Using a side chain on the noise, so it pumps to the beat, can be good.
The remaining ideas sound good, but I think the track could benefit from rhythmic leads, like try building a synth that makes some weird noise (noise->something not particularly appealing to the ears, like a huge hydraulic arm or broken TV), put some long LFO's modulating some sort of parameter, and play the synth using only one note, -> thus having to play with rhythms (main lead of Boom Shankar can be categorized by this type). Make the rhythm come in slow, say one note per 4 bars in the 1:28 section, and make the lead come fully in at the 2:07.
At 2:36, the vibe is a bit lost, as the whole bass goes out.. you could place a BP filter on you beat and place a beat there, underlining the time and building tension.
Some psy farts here and there wouldn't hurt the tune either
Keep it up
