The Conspiracy Chronicles

In 2009, the band changed their name to Tangerine Circus and began to work on their first songs.[6] Those songs would later on become their debut album Urania. During 2010, composition began for their sophomore album, The Conspiracy Chronicles. In order to pursue this new material, the band began the search for a fifth member, a full-time singer, but with little success. In 2012, with Naoki Sasamoto on lead vocals, the band began recording the first version of The Conspiracy Chronicles, but due to low budget and rush of the process, it ended up being a demo for the upcoming final version recorded a couple of years later. Finally, Sasamoto left the band late 2012, leading to all original members taking over vocal duties, each one of them performing lead vocals on different songs.[7]

In early 2013, Mariné proposed that their two first musical efforts were re-recorded in his newly founded studio, LM Studio. With the band self-producing its own work and Mariné being in charge of engineering and mixing, Tangerine Circus reached a new level of control and detail with their work. It took them almost a year and a half to re-record and re-arrange their existing material into their final forms. "Advent of the Thinking", which was originally left out due to time constraints, was revisited by Messeguer and Mariné, being recorded and making into the final version of the album.

Through the recording process, the songs were revisited in their entirety by adding new vocal harmonies, textures and slightly modifying the existing structures of the songs. The recording process was completely digital, using amplifier simulators and sampling. Guitars were recorded through a GT-100 Roland module, while for bass and AmpliTube digital module was used. Different keyboards were used during the record of the album, such as Spectrasonics' Omnisphere, Native Instruments, Roland Fantom G8 synthesizer, among others. Drums were recorded with an RMV kit, and a wide variety of Slate Digital triggers.

The Conspiracy Chronicles was first released digitally on streaming services and digital stores on 1 July 2015.[8]

Although there was never an official tour of the album, the band gigged in Mexico City to promote the album. They played dates in State of Mexico and Querétaro, promoting also their debut release Urania. The Conspiracy Chronicles was played in its entirety for the first time on 14 October 2016, at Metal Brothers in Mexico City.
