Fairly long songs that don't vary much
Hearing Of Montreal play The Past Is A Grotesque Animal at Green Man last night has put me in the mood for more stuff like that. I'm after 7-minute-plus songs that, rather than progessing and changing throughout, are more or less just one insistent riff, rhythm, or groove all the way through. All My Friends is another good example.
I'm not hugely familiar with Kraftwerk but I imagine they've got a few of these?
yep
kraftwerk - europe endless was the first song that sprang to mind...
and it's pretty fuckin ace:

Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train)
Long but really gorgeous song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxeN56g2U3k
A small part from "Dark Train" also appeared on Trainspotting movie soundtrack.
What a tune
Almost anything from The Field
e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I41qt-O8Rk
Biosphere - Novelty Waves
Long version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpcKLRYKunE
Edited (music video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8edVxpAX_WA
Solid rhythm!
Oneida - Sheets of Easter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT26L1vtgkE
the ultimate.
Funnily enough, I have Past is a Grotesque Animal playing right now. Always amazing every time.
Onieda have a few
Add 'Folk Wisdom' and the entire of 'Preteen Weaponry' to that list.
Songs:Ohia ' Not Just a Ghost's Heart'
Spacemen Three - Suicide
Lindstrom - Little Drummer Boy (If you can find the 45 minute version)
This Dust Makes That Mud
There are five of them on Fuck Button's Tarot Sport
and 8 of 'em on Underworld's dubnobasswithmyheadman, though personally, I much prefer this version of "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" than the album version:

Nisennenmondai
from Tokyo. They're just what you're after. Every tiny change ends up sounding like a tectonic shift. Destination Tokyo or Fan are both good places to start.
A couple from Wilco
Spiders (Kidsmoke)

One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa2XnouRXKo
(although this one is less of a groove and more of a float)
That's lovely.

Death Cab For Cutie - Stability
Pretty much all of Metal Box
and a lot of modal jazz.
How Soon Is Now
Although it's only like 5:30 or something. Still, long enough for no real changes.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Babe I'm on Fire
Absolutely ridiculous scenes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsBJ62jSCl0
Works as a tremendous double-bill with Marquee Moon if you fancy annoying everyone in the pub.
I regularly put this
followed by 'Cop Shoot Cop' on the jukebox in my local when I was a student. Pretty sure they regretted having those songs (or me as a customer)
Also, The Private Psychedelic Reel
Can - Mother Sky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5PxPY6x_ts
The Necks - Fatal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aCm6A538LI
Seefeel - Filter Dub http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2GWnEc4FEI
Red House Painters - Medicine Bottle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BMZ7wfLyno
And sort of all of Meshuggah's Catch ThirtyThree album.
Shit & Shine - Ladybird
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3VJSappziw and it's absolutely glorious
Lots of Parson Sound
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qPHqGydVVQ
First thing that came to mind
Philip Glass - The Grid
One of my favourite pieces of music.
