Probably the Hardcore Adrenaline series. I seem to remember not being that into the music that was on it; then it didn't get listened to much after that.
actually it was 07 so was starting to get well into the whole falling out of love with modern hardcore thing.
That said don't regret buying them too much as they were being practically given away by HMV for like ?1 or ?2 at the time.

Dreamscape Hardcore 2001
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Dreamscape-Hardcore-2001/release/41371
You mite say whats wrong with this album, loads of old classsic unmixed full length tracks.
The problem is the the tracks or artists you never heard of, really shitty badly produced tracks,
all obviously made by the same person, someone who was friends with the dreamscape promoter who wanted to make some money from having their tracks on the album.
Tracks like:
Big G - Destiny
Coco & Static - The Future
V2 - Bodybagz
Interdance Kru - Hardcore Upstart
KC - Stompin In
Happens a lot i've seen it with old skool decadance albums aswell, classic tracks mixed in with shit thats not even from that era.

Chris unknown - I?m alive. The most dreary album I have ever experienced without a single decent unreleased track. The only good track was the breakaway remix which had already been released on his label proper. For me it was confirmation that without Sy, the man was lost.

Gammers album from 2015. Cant remember what daft title he gave it but it was a complete waste of time. A few tracks hed done over the years with lazy mixing and zero unmixed content. The kind of stuff that?s widely available as tribute mixes on Soundcloud or Mixcloud for free, but packaged and sold for a 10 - 15 quid. Complete money grab.

I disagree that the Hardcore Adrenaline albums were bad, some of the bootlegs were crap but I thought overall there's some great stuff on there. It sounds a bit dated these days, the style of music from that album isn't old-sounding enough to be considered old school but isn't new-sounding enough to get played in a DJ mix.
The Ministry of Sound hardcore albums were pretty abysmal, worst of which being Helter Skelter Vs Raindance Present Rave Nation The Anthems https://www.discogs.com/Slipmatt-Billy-Daniel-Bunter-Nicky-Blackmarket-Helter-Skelter-Vs-Raindance-Present-Rave-Nation-The-A/release/1176075

Those tracks (and similar ones) appeared on a fair few albums actually. Usually generic compilations like "Essential Hardcore", "Ultimate Hardcore", "Strictly Hardcore", those spring to mind. I don't know what the story is, I imagine someone knocked them together and offered them ridiculously cheap for album use.
I could understand them being on those budget CDs with a few actual decent tracks, but why Dreamscape thought they would make good filler material is beyond me.
*EDIT*
That Dreamscape album is on Beechwood music, the same as those others I mentioned above. Perhaps their appearance was in the terms of the contract or something. Really good compilation, otherwise.

The 4th was the best by some distance imo but it did go downhill after that.

Worst - Essential Happy Hardcore 1 & 2 and also Ultimate Essential Happy Hardcore.
The Force & Styles CDs in the first 2 and the Scott Brown disc in the 3rd were fine, but the 'Maximum Noise' discs were just awful, absolutely awful!

Its follow up album The Best Essential Ultimate Essential Happy Hardcore Album wasn't very good.

You know what I was thinking the same one when I opened the thread but forgot the name until you mentioned it. Had Stu Allen and Seduction doing the mixes?
There where some right shockers on there!

Oh how could I forget. It was 2005 and I happened to be in Liverpool as was staying up north that week and I just saw it in HMV in the shopping centre.
It was clever though. It was released before Clubland 7 which was the next in line in the mainstream series but also released ahead of Bonkers 14. It was full of dozens of Hardcore remixes of already well known club tunes with familiar names being Hixxy, Styles and Breeze with a cheeky Hixxy remix of Special D - Come with me (was that what it was called?) which had been a hit the year before. It would also feature tracks and remixes from the likes of Scott Brown and Gammer to pull in the Hardcore listeners.
Some tracks where ok actually, especially Scott Browns remix of Styles and Breeze - Your my angel but that also appeared on Scott Brown's remix on Bonkers by which time it had been spoilt.
It was seen as a very chav album back in the day. All the kids loved it and got into that HTID Raverbaby hype that was going on but it was boycotted by most others in the scene. That year we had dozens of compilations fighting it out, Hardcore Heaven, Hard Nation, Clubland Extreme Hardcore and of course Bonkers being the lead four.
