  Avila's Almost Reducibility Conjecture (ARC) is a powerful statement linking
purely analytic and dynamical properties of analytic one frequency
$SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ cocycles. It is also a fundamental tool in the study of
spectral theory of analytic one-frequency Schr\"odinger operators, with many
striking consequencies, allowing to give a detailed characterization of the
subcritical region. Here we give a proof, completely different from Avilas, for
the important case of Schr\"odinger cocycles and non-exponentially approximated
frequencies, allowing, in particular, to obtain all the desired spectral
consequences.
