This is how I would write it -

(defrecord Point [x y z])

;;; Only needed in pre Clojure 1.3.0
;;; In Clojure 1.3.0, ->Point will be generated automatically
;; (defn ->Point
;;   [x y z]
;;   (Point. x y z))

(defn gen-points [n]
  (let [random (java.util.Random.)
        random-int #(.nextInt random)
        random-point #(apply ->Point (repeatedly 3 random-int))]
    (repeatedly n random-point)))

Hope this helps.

Regards,
BG
