If by that you mean more cases of contrafact, then I have to say that's quite unlikely, as I've only ever made two songs of that method and both of them are now on here already. However, you may not have realised that BBox itself makes creating contrafact pieces a very easy thing to do, by simply utilising the built-in Melodist of the program. So those who wish to experiment with this particular concept only have to input a chord progression from any song they so desire, pick a style, press the Melodist button and let BBox do the rest!

Glad you went the user track route. Thanks for the backstory and the introduction to a new, for me, word. This a really interesting production and I suspect it took a lot of time to mix. Enjoyed it!

It wasn't really the plan from the offset, as I mentioned earlier in this thread it simply turned out to be the best fit. I never deliberately intended this piece to be the UT showcase it's apparently become, But now I'm pretty glad I did use it, for that seems to have helped getting it the extra attention. And speaking of attention, my dream has come true: PG has featured this song on their Facebook page - WORLD FAME, HERE I COME, WHOO-HOO!
