Science Faire is a compilation album by indie pop Elephant 6 group The Apples in Stereo. The album consists of two EPs and various singles that were released from 1993 to 1995, leading up to the production of Fun Trick Noisemaker. All of the selections were recorded the summers of 1993 and 1994 and appear on the compilation in the order they were recorded.

Robert Schneider, front man of The Apples in Stereo, has said that the song "Too Much Now" will be included on a future re-release of Science Faire. The song was the first by the band ever to be released, included on the 1993 cassette compilation The Horizon Center. Chris Parfitt, who wrote the song, sings lead vocals on the track. It was omitted from the original Science Faire pressing because of issues the band had with its production quality.[1]
