Erik Scheelebooklet commentary

(Alternate Universe Intermission)

So this pretty much happened when Radiation went "yo jit make something" and I was like "okay", and then later I was like "bluuuuuuh don't know what to write", and then Radiation went "do trollcops", and I went "no that's dumb, stupid dumb, what is trollcops even", and Radiation went "DO IT JIT YOU BUTT", and I was like "NO RADIATION I HATE EVERYTHING". And then, Mellotron samples happened, and here we are. Also, it should be pointed out that in the version with vocals, there's a name drop of the fan music piece that this is based off of. Yes, it takes this long to re-use things, sometimes.

Besides that, I dunno, just enjoy it.

Toby Foxalbum organizer, booklet commentary

Don't tell anyone, but this is actually a remix of one of Jit's old fansongs called 'Under the Hat,' which was a battle theme for Dad. So if your heart still pines for him... his soul and pipe are contained deep within this track.

So damn catchy and sleuthy.

Quasar Nebula: wiki editor

On the wiki we used to mark this track as referencing the version from Land of Fans and Music, probably just because obviously that is a fansong and both Trollcops and the later release on One Year older are not. We've revisited the context and changed both tracks to point to a hypothetical original version we think was publicly released at some point earlier back, but haven't actually found.

This track and the piano version on One Year Older are quite similar arrangements, so we're confident there's a reference between the two. We aren't so sure what direction the reference goes - we don't know which came first. One Year Older released over a year after AlterniaBound (ha), but the recording included there was first posted on Tumblr in May 2011, just two months following AlterniaBound. And that one might have been recorded some amount of time earlier than it was posted - possibly preceding when this track, Trollcops, was produced for AlterniaBound.
