There's actually a mega-rare demo called Zion which is where that guitar breakdown comes from. It's about 5 minutes long, has Bowie la-la-ing where he'd put the lyrics (which I don't think he actually did do), and you can hear a lot of snippets of musical ideas he'd use throughout the album. I've got it on CD somewhere, but it'd be one of those needle-in-a-haystack scenarios to actually try and find it.
