What would happen if Marshall Crenshaw's 60s pop melodies mated with the up-front new wave synths of The Cars? You'd probably get something that sounded like 3-D.
3-D were a little known new wave band that produced two albums in its short existence. The first was the band's self-titled debut from 1980, and the second, See It Loud, came the following year.
The debut record has its share of catchy new wave gems, including the singles Telephone Number, X-Ray Eyes and All Night Television. Also noteworthy are the jubilant Pin Up Girl and the breezy Carnival. This is light, uncomplicated pop that makes for a consistently fun and entertaining listen.

This looks cool! Thanks for the share.
do you have their other album????
sorry harleytexas, i don't have the other one. i'll be on the lookout for it.
Thanks you so much! Found X-Ray Eyes single on an 80's forum, awesome song. I last stopped by here after you posted "Sports - All Sports" so what a refreshing surprise to see you posted the entire 3-D debut album!
I am sure we'll find a few more pop gems on this album. Many thanks, AWESOME blog! Jay
Wow- ( I finally find) someone else likes 3D !!!??
Saw 3D open for The Fabulous Poodles @ NYCs Bottom Line in early 1980, they were as good or better than the main act! But they sunk into obscurity quickly. Info on this band is almost next to nothing!
I was a big 3-D fan. Thanks for the post!
