Bowie is the strangest performer; so aloof, then he opens his mouth and it all changes...somehow that dichotomy also translates in his recordings...strange but brilliant and only he can pull it off...

And I love Belew's playing, one of the most inventive guitarrist ever!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

I'm thinking that's Carlos Alomar on Alembic guitar.  And there's a nice picture of his guitar here.
