Calling the Sandworm

I started the week with a middle eastern melody and intended to go with an ancient Egypt inspired synthwave, with pink and neon blue pyramids cruising across space, like Stargate but with 80s Miami colors. But as I was working on the track, it sounds more middle eastern than really ancient Egypt (though I must admit I have no idea what ancient Egypt's music sounded like) so it forked into a Dune inspired track, with calling the worm. That's the intent of the beat heavy sections, though not everything is 4/4. Again, spiced up with a lot of samples from Splice.
The mix is a bit meh and I am not super satisfied with the instruments. I'd call that a start for a track that could be good with more hours and maybe recording some lines on guitar instead of synth.
By the way, the game Dune released in the early 90s (by Cryo) came with a soundtrack on a CD - this soundtrack was amazing and so inspiring. It's as if Jean-Michel Jarre had made the soundtrack for David Lynch's version. It was awesome. It is lurking here and there on youtube, check it out!
