Josh did the score, but Ellen did the soundtrack.
I would disagree with your terminology; all the game music counts as soundtrack. Josh did the melodic scorey things, like (some of, if not all) the music underscoring the cutscenes. Ellen did the ingame soundtrack stuff, which was less musical and more percussive and ambient. She also developed the sound effects and voices.

Which is why the following quote confused me, given that Michael's stuff is all melodic and Ellen's stuff is mostly ambient.

I personally didn't care for Michael Bross's music. He's a good ambient composer, but I feel his attempts at orchestral sounding pieces fall flat. I prefer Ellen Meijers' work ten fold, but perhaps that's just me.
