Sound MP3 is a directory of what is available at multiple web sites, so it is a meta search engine for music you want to find. If they have links to Bob Mould (Formerly of XTC) then we know they rock.
Now here is where it gets interesting.
If you go to SoundMP3 and then click on details like oh say, about us, you end up over at MP3 Fiesta, which has an authorized license to sell music, which is about all they have on their about us web page. Here is the rub, they are located in Moscow. Given all the hoopla over other music sites in Russia, allofMP3 comes to mind, its probably good to check things out first before use.
With roughly 715 thousand tracks, odds are most likely they will have something you can use or like, or want to get. They state:

Bob Mould was a member of Husker Du and never a member of XTC. You are thinking of Andy Partridge. And yes, Mp3 fiesta is quite the bomb!!!
