According to bandleader Sean O'Hagan, the title refers to electronica's "paradoxical" combination of "cold" or digital sounds and "bouncy" rhythms.[2] Before the album was released, O'Hagan played early versions of its tracks to the Beach Boys' Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine, who suggested that the band record his songs, but this never happened.[3] The album was followed with Lollo Rosso (13 October 1998), which contains seven Cold and Bouncy tracks remixed by Mouse on Mars, Cornelius, Schneider TM, Jim O'Rourke, Kid Loco, Stock, Hausen & Walkman, and the High Llamas.[4] Critical reception{{Album ratings| state = plain | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[5] }}Billboard{{'}}s review stated: "Masters of evoking the sound and spirit of such American pop music masters as Brian Wilson and Burt Bacharach, the U.K.-based High Llamas now turn their focus toward European soundtrack music, smooth bossa nova rhythms, and '70s German electronic music ... the mostly instrumental album toys with all manner of pop exotica yet somehow manages to sound contemporary. A smooth left turn by a band that always keeps its fans on their toes."[6]CMJ New Music Monthly{{'}}s Chris Nickson said that the album is "far from cold, and instead of bouncy, it's more like a walk through the clouds. Sean O'Hagan still wears the hearts of Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks on his sleeve, but finally his adventurous work with Stereolab shines through ... whereas it previously seemed as if Sean O'Hagan was wanting to make the ultimate Beach Boys album, this time he's really found his own voice and made a superb High Llamas record."[7]AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "Cold and Bouncy is an accurate description of the High Llamas' music, in many ways. On the surface, it's light and airy, with sprightly or sighing melodies, sometimes quite detailed, but that very attention to detail keeps the music at an emotional distance ... While it's not the marathon of Hawaii, the album still runs way too long, lasting well over an hour. Instead of adding depth, the length makes O'Hagan's ideas difficult to assimilate, and by the end of the record, it sounds like he only has variations on a handful of themes. But when the album is consumed in small doses, however, O'Hagan's flair for arrangement and sonic detail burns brightly."[5] Track listing{{Track listing| collapsed = | headline = Cold and Bouncy | extra_column = | total_length = {{duration|m=62|s=39}} | all_writing = Sean O'Hagan | title1 = Twisto Teck | length1 = 0:45 | title2 = The Sun Beats Down | length2 = 3:48 | title3 = HiBall Nova Scotia | length3 = 4:59 | title4 = Tilting Windmills | length4 = 4:10 | title5 = Glide Time | length5 = 4:32 | title6 = Bouncy Glimmer | length6 = 1:15 | title7 = Three Point Scrabble | length7 = 5:24 | title8 = Homespin Rerun | length8 = 5:22 | title9 = Painters Paint | length9 = 3:50 | title10 = Evergreen Vampo | length10 = 3:40 | title11 = Showstop Hip Hop | length11 = 6:09 | title12 = Over the River | length12 = 3:59 | title13 = End on Tick Tock | length13 = 1:44 | title14 = Didball | length14 = 4:03 | title15 = Jazzed Carpenter | length15 = 4:18 | title16 = Lobby Bears | length16 = 4:41 }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Lollo Rosso | extra_column = Remixer | total_length = {{duration|m=46|s=08}} | title1 = Showstop Hic Hup | extra1 = Mouse on Mars | length1 = 6:36 | title2 = Homespin Rerun | extra2 = Cornelius | length2 = 6:12 | title3 = Homerun Ubershow | extra3 = Schneider TM | length3 = 7:37 | title4 = Mini-Management | extra4 = Jim O'Rourke | length4 = 8:25 | title5 = The Space Raid Remix | extra5 = Kid Loco | length5 = 7:47 | title6 = Reflections in a Plastic Glass | extra6 = Stock, Hausen & Walkman | length6 = 5:13 | title7 = Milting Tindmills | extra7 = The High Llamas | length7 = 4:18 }} References1. ^{{cite book|editor-last=Larkin|editor-first=Colin|title=The Encyclopedia of Popular Music|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uAsKAQAAMAAJ|year=2006|publisher=MUZE|isbn=978-0-19-531373-4|page=282}} {{The High Llamas}}2. ^{{cite journal|last1=Westlund|first1=Joshua|title=The High Llamas - Cold and Bounccy|journal=Spin|date=April 1998|volume=14|issue=4|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Jq-A2xEoAHIC&pg=PA128}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Woullard|first1=Clayton|title=The Goat Looks In: Interview with Sean O'Hagan of the High Llamas|url=http://claythescribe.com:80/2016/03/04/interview-with-sean-ohagan-of-the-high-llamas/|website=Clay the Scribe|archiveurl=http://claythescribe.com:80/2016/03/04/interview-with-sean-ohagan-of-the-high-llamas/|archivedate=8 March 2016|date=4 March 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Sendra|first1=Tim|title=Lollo Rosso|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/lollo-rosso-mw0000601091|website=AllMusic}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Erlewine|first1=Stephen Thomas|author-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|title=Cold and Bouncy|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/cold-and-bouncy-mw0000032907|website=AllMusic}} 6. ^{{cite magazine|editor1-last=Verna|editor1-first=Paul|title=Albums|magazine=Billboard|date=January 10, 1998|volume=110|issue=2|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ug0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA69|issn=0006-2510}} 7. ^{{cite journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5ykEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA11|title=Best New Music|accessdate=July 4, 2013|journal=CMJ New Music Monthly|last=Nickson|first=Chris|page=11|date=February 1998}} 4 : 1998 albums|The High Llamas albums|Electronica albums by British artists|V2 Records albums |
